The Cozy Crochet Checkerboard Blanket
While the granny square is the ultimate 70s crochet icon, the checkerboard pattern is its modern, trend-setting sibling. Combining the two results in a graphic, high-contrast blanket that is taking over home decor feeds. By crocheting simple squares in alternating colors—such as sage green and cream, or terracotta and mustard—and joining them together, you create a bold, textile masterpiece. It is the perfect cozy accent to drape over a neutral sofa, instantly injecting personality, warmth, and retro-modern style into your living room.
