  Four Leaf Clover Granny Square Blanket

• Pattern: Four Leaf Clover Granny Square by Apinya Roszko
• Hook: H (5.0 mm)
• Yarn: Knit Picks Brava 500 in colorway Mint & Loops and Threads Impeccable in Colorway 01808
• Center square (in darker green)- 4g. Three rounds on outside of clover (in mint)- 12g
• Size: 6 inch square.
• 5x7 blanket (30x42”) before border.
• Modification- the pattern calls for attaching new yarn (at the end of the square) to make the stem for the clover. I just chain to get to the center, make the stem and cut the yarn. I find it easy to crochet the granny square around it in Mint. No issues and one less end to weave in.
• I am joining squares as I go. I used this YouTube tutorial to remind me how to do this.
