Free Pattern: Mitred Granny Square (Optical Illusion Blanket) Updated Pattern

Here is the promised update of my popular crochet pattern for the Mitred Granny Square (or Optical Illusion Square as some of my subscribers have described it). It's the latest of my older patterns to make it's move from my blog over to my new website — which leaves just three of my older patterns to make the move and then the pattern transission is complete.

I first published this pattern here on my blog in February 2013 after coming up with the design while planning a blanket for my teenage son. I wanted the blanket to have the feel of a granny square blanket but the look needed to have a more modern take on the traditional look to suit him. The square pattern I envisaged using also needed to be easy for crocheting while watching television. With a bit of fiddling about and some experimenting my Mitred Granny Square evolved. I'm really pleased with the shading or optical illusion this square gives to the completed blanket. So if you have an empty hook and some yarn looking for a project, then this could be the one for you. 

 

You'll find the updated pattern FREE to download on my website. Here is the link you need https://www.weediflowercreations.com/free-patterns

 

Wishing you lots of enjoyment making this blanket.

Updated Edition of the Mitred Granny Square

So pleased to re-release my pattern for a Mitred Granny Square, which was first published here on the blog in February 2013.  Mitred granny squares create a patterned blanket with a multitude of colour, shading and pattern effects depending on the rotation and sequence of each square  - so there's lots of fun to be had in creating your unique blanket.

Mitred Granny Square Pattern first published here in 2013

This is a pattern that I came up with in around 2013 for a granny square with a difference.  I have gotten a bit bored with the look of the granny but wanted to make a blanket that was easy to make while watching TV or chatting with a modern twist to the traditional design.  With some trial and error the Mitre Granny Square came about.

It has been a firm favourite on this blog since I first published it here February 2013, so if you missed it first time round, here it is again to enjoy.

Have fun.
