American Pride Granny Square Blanket

"This granny square blanket works up very quickly. This one was made in just over a week of watching television. You’re probably thinking-how much television do you watch? Well, I have a family, full-time job that is well over a 40-hour week gig, so you know that the time I have available to watch television must be limited. However, crochet is one of those things that I do to help me forget the stress of the day so I can go right to sleep when my head hits that pillow. I love these crochet patterns that are almost mindless to do once you figure out the pattern. Crocheting a granny square blanket is just wonderful for a beginner."
