❗ BACKINGS FOR TEDDY BEAR SQUARE: Please refer to the free written pattern on how to make backings for your teddy bear squares. This is a good way to hide all the yarn tails and make your blanket neat and tidy on the back: https://maisieandruth.com/bear-crochet-baby-blanket-cute-easy-tutorial/

You can see how I ATTACH MY BACKINGS in this YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/FbTQc27k2wU?si=tMY3K4crDK8ySHG2&t=6334

====================

The finished size of this bear crochet baby blanket is 28.5” x 28.5” (72 x 72 cm) approximately.

In part two of this tutorial, I’ll show you how to crochet the solid granny square (make 12 of these for your blanket). I'll also show you how I arranged my squares to form the blanket. And lastly, I show you how to crochet the border.

To make your crochet squares you will be working in the round. You can start your work by either:
1. Making a magic circle or
2. Chain 4, then slip stitch to the first chain to form a circle.

IMPORTANT: If you choose method 1, make sure that you securely weave in the yarn tail to ensure that the middle of your square does not unravel.

====================

To join my squares, I used the flat slip stitch seam. You can see the tutorial here:
