Floating Squares Crochet Blanket Pattern – This stunning Floating Square Crochet Blanket features a unique layered effect where colorful squares appear to float above a shadowed background. Created by strategically layering yarn colors and working partial rounds, the design creates beautiful depth and dimension.
The blanket is constructed using classic granny square techniques with a creative twist — the “shadow” color is worked behind the main square to create contrast, then joined using the main color to frame and highlight the square. You’ll work in partial sections and continue with full rounds, resulting in a dynamic 3D look that’s perfect for modern home decor.
This pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners and intermediate crocheters who enjoy visual texture and bold colorwork. Customize it using any yarn weight or color combination for a truly personalized statement piece.
Includes written instructions and charted diagram
