Make a whole batch of small motifs and join them to form a patchwork style blanket or cushion cover. You could make one very big square consisting of several rounds and have a giant one-square blanket.
Stitches used:
Ch = Chain
SS = Slip Stitch
Tr = Treble Stitch
1. Ch5, SS into first chain to join into a ring.
2. Ch3 (acts as first Tr), Tr11 into the centre of the ring, SS into space between first and second Tr's to close the round.

5. Repeat in the style of round 4, working corner sets in each corner and Tr3 groups separated by Ch1 along each side.
Grow your granny square to whichever size you choose, working each round as before in Round 5. You will notice that with each round you make the number of Tr-groups increases along each side of the square.
