The granny stripe stitch is a simple variation of the traditional granny stitch. Instead of working in rounds, the rows are crocheted back and forth to create colorful stripes of texture. The blanket measures about 38 inches wide, but the size can easily be adjusted. It looks beautiful in solid colors and even more striking with self-striping cake yarns or variegated yarns.
