About the Granny Stripe Stitch

The Granny Stripe Stitch is made by working clusters of double crochet stitches across the row, creating the same look you love from granny squares—but in stripe form.

Why this stitch is perfect for our sampler blanket:

• 🧶 Classic granny texture everyone loves
• 🌸 Great balance between textured and airy stitches
• 🎨 Perfect for scrap yarn and color changes
• ✨ Easy, relaxing repeat

This stitch adds a lighter, more open texture to the blanket, which helps balance some of the denser stitches from earlier weeks.

Pattern notes & stitches to know
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
rs – right side
ws – wrong side

· written in US terms

· ch 3 counts as dc

· This stitch requires a starting chain that is a mult of 3 + 2

· This stitch looks great with any color combinations. I used 3 colors and changed color every row.

· If you use 3 colors and change color every row, do not fasten off. Carry the yarn.

Scrapghan Tips

· This blanket will use different hook sizes depending on the stitch. Some stitches work up tighter than others. Even with changing hook sizes, the blanket will not have completely straight edges.

· Feel free to adjust your hook size according to how you crochet.

· This blanket requires a foundation row that is a multiple of 24 + 2.

· The starting chain requirement for this particular stitch is given in the pattern notes (this may or may not match what was used for the entire blanket). This is just a note given for use of this stitch in other projects, not for this blanket.

· Each part starts over at row 1 of that stitch. Be sure to place a stitch marker and the last stitch of each part to mark where the next part begins.
