Easy Crochet Modern Granny Blanket Pattern

"Today, I made this modern granny blanket using a few variegated yarn cakes in beach view colors. It is wonderful to have such lovely colors in this afghan without having to weave in a lot of yarn ends. In the realm of crafting, few things evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia quite like a handmade blanket. Crocheting, an age-old art form, has been passed down through generations, preserving the spirit of creativity and love in every carefully woven stitch. At Pattern Princess, we believe that there’s no better way to infuse your home with comfort and style than with a beautifully crafted blanket."
