Hip to be Square

Hip to Be Square Blanket by Mooey's Stuff

What is Being Made

The Hip to Be Square (HTBS) blanket is a crochet throw designed by Amanda Spencer of Mooey's Stuff. This project creates a finished blanket suitable for home décor, gifting, or personal use. The blanket features a square-based construction that builds upon the geometric "square" theme indicated by its name.

Craft and Primary Technique

This is a crochet project, making it ideal for crafters who work with a crochet hook rather than knitting needles. Crochet construction typically offers flexibility in shaping and allows for creative stitch combinations. The intermediate difficulty level indicates this pattern is suited for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle more complex stitch work and construction methods.

Stitches and Crochet Techniques

While the complete stitch list is referenced in the pattern's abbreviations and instructions section, the Hip to Be Square blanket employs crochet stitches and techniques appropriate for an intermediate-level maker. The square-based design suggests the use of modular construction or geometric stitch patterns common in blanket-making, though specific stitch names and sequences are detailed within the full pattern instructions.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

This pattern is worked in DK weight yarn, a lightweight yarn that creates fabric with good drape and relatively quick project completion compared to heavier weights. DK weight is versatile for blankets, offering a balance between warmth and breathability. Crocheters will need a crochet hook appropriate for DK weight yarn (typically sizes E/3.5mm to F/3.75mm, though the pattern instructions specify the exact hook size required).

Pattern Format and Designer Information

The Hip to Be Square blanket is provided as a downloadable PDF pattern created by independent designer Amanda Spencer. The pattern includes comprehensive sections covering finished dimensions, abbreviations, and step-by-step instructions to guide crocheters from start to finish. This format allows crafters to download, print, or view the instructions digitally while working on their project.
