Whirlwind Blanket Trilogy

I have long thought about the granny square, it’s composition, it’s many personalities. I’ve admired how square it can be with the right technique, and delighted in the oopsie ones that would twist in the round, defying the rules.

I started to think about that and wondered why we wanted to follow the rules so badly! So I started encouraging it to see what else it would do….Nearly a year in the making….. I bring you the Whirlwind!

Gauge is not particularly important to this pattern, but I have included my gauge for the basic 4-weight/Aran yarns like Red Heart Super Saver and Loops & Threads Impeccable. The pattern is repetitive, and with an increase in the same place each time it is easy to memorize right from the beginning. Bonus: you can make it as big or small as you like!
