Crochet Dream catcher square blanket 20 squares: My First Blanket Ever!!

Here is my finished dream catcher square blanket =)

20 squares big. Those are 12" squares, 3 colors. I used a Bernat 12oz 100% cotton yarn.

I actually made 21 squares (7 of each color) but I have a red one left over lol. I can easily make 3 more and add another row to the blanket and make it bigger, but I like it at this size. Its a perfect throw for the couch.

Wrong Side of the blanket. Where you can see I used a single stitch to join the squares.. and a 4th color.. Yellow

Here you can see I am "blocking" two of the squares. I did this on 4 of the squares and then gave up lol. I just went ahead and joined the rest of the squares and made the blanket. I cant tell which 4 of the 20 squares on the blanket were blocked.. can you? hahahah.. guess its not that important to block a cotton square blanket like this. Its going to get washed and washed and used as a throw anyway and that is why I gave up with the whole idea of blocking each square. My oh my what a time consuming event that would have been.

It took me about 4 hours to make one square.. at the newbie rate I crochet :)

This was back when I had made the first 8 squares.. I was so proud then lol

I love my dream catcher blanket

Thanks for reading =)
