About the pattern
The Tulip Throw crochet blanket pattern is available in three sizes: lapghan (40×27″ / 101.5 x 68.5 cm), small throw (51 x 37″ / 129.5 x 94 cm), and larger throw (62 x 47″ / 157.5 x 119 cm). You’ll need a total of 35 (63, 99) squares.
Use as many colors as you want or stick to 4 colors like my sample blanket. I decided to use colors that are typical for tulips and opted for an autumn tulip color palette.
About the yarn
For this blanket, I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling™, a worsted weight yarn that is perfect for creating long-lasting projects. This anti-pilling yarn will still look great after washing, making it a great choice for blankets.

Assembly
Arrange all granny squares as indicated by the photos below, with the wrong sides facing upwards.
Slip stitch everything together using a loose tension.
Tip for slip stitching: insert your hook in the front loop of the square on top and the back loop of the square below. You can find a tutorial here.
To achieve a smoother finish, you can (steam) block the granny squares.
Picot border
Attach yarn in the top right corner and work a (sc blo, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch),
*[1 sc blo in next 2 st, (1 sc blo in next st, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch)] repeat to next ch-sp, work 2 sc evenly across the seam, (1 sc blo, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch) in the ch-sp of the next square* repeat across the entire throw.
End with 1 sc blo in last 2 st, sl st in 1st st.
Fasten off, weave ends.
Tip: When working the border, try to crochet over the loose ends. It will save you from weaving in many ends.
