How to join granny squares as you go
There are multiple ways to join granny squares, sewing them together, with single crochet, slip stitch them together too, but my favorite one is joining them with an "additional" round in one continuos go without cutting the yarn. This method is called " continuous join as you go" and there are plenty of videos how to do that with the traditional granny square stitch (3 dc, ch 1) , the tight version with only double crochet and even some lacey ones with only chains or "V" stitch. For my "Fairy Garden" blanket I wanted something in between. Some delicate lacey looking stitch but not too open. So here is what I made for my design.
