~ straight up granny ~
After I finished my granny ripple bag, I wanted to start another baby blankie. I wanted to do a granny stitch, so I went and got my Jan Eaton book "200 Crochet Blocks" and found her 'granny stripes' pattern. I love Jan Eaton's patterns, but the edges weren't working for me, so I figured a different way. Also - I'm not working stripes, so I decided to call this baby blankie 'straight up granny'. I hope it all makes sense. If you have any questions let me know. :)
**Please note that I am not claiming this pattern as my own - it belongs to Jan Eaton - I only changed the way the edges are.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 for pattern.
