Crochet Granny Squares Soduku Blanket

I've been making a granny square blanket for a while. And now I'm finished! It started out with just 5 little squares:

I 'instagrammed' my progress which you can see above. This is my first proper crochet project (I like to start big) and I have enjoyed the process of making it. It is a very therapeutic craft so I encourage you to learn. You can learn the basic stitches here and there is also a pattern for the 'granny square' just as I have made for my blanket.

 And now it's finished. If you're interested the geek in me wanted to make a blanket with granny squares in 12 different colour combinations. I wanted to have one of each colour in each row and one in each column, hence the soduku blanket. This is the grid I followed to make sure it worked out right:

And I'm delighted with the results. It looks random and gives an even spread of colour but I know it has a hidden pattern. 

I think it will stay here for now, draped over this chair waiting for winter. Zoe xx
