Samantha Clair These solid granny square circles are perfect if you want to make a tighter sofa blanket with fewer holes. They look especially nice when alternating colours to create stripes.

Happy crocheting,

Should round 4 be sc, sc, hdc, hdc, dc, (info in parents as is), dc, hdc, hdc? When I first did this round, I did 2 sc together, 2 hdc together, etc because that’s how the previous rounds were written (2dc in round 2 meant two dcs together in same stitch)
Hi Ellen, Thanks for your comment. Did you manage to make one in the end? I’m sorry for the confusion, I will rewrite it so its clearer. I really appreciate your feedback, please let me know if you have any other issues. Happy crocheting!
I was able to make one, thanks!
