Here is a grannie square blanket I started crocheting over the Christmas break and finished in the first couple weeks of February.
I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn in black, red, white and pink. Each square was made individually and then crocheted together in rows using the join as you go technique. Bella Coco has a great video on YouTube you can follow here
When joining, start by laying out your first row of squares all facing up. Start by taking the first square of the row (to your left) and crochet a border completely around it and then sew in your ends. From this point on you are now going to join each new square to the one to its immediate left. Bella will show you how to join the corners together in her video so be show to watch this.
Take the next square which will sit to the right of the first square you have just completed the border for and start crocheting around the side, top and then join the third edge to the first square along one side. This leaves the bottom edge to crochet before you begin again. Work like this to the end of this row and then lay out your second row making sure all squares are the correct way up. Keep repeating the above until all the squares are joined.
I finished off sewing in all my loose ends before edging the blanket with three rows of double crochet and here is the end result.
