Three colors. One satisfying repeat. A finished blanket that looks like it belongs in a home decor magazine.
The Modern Granny Blanket by Tiffany Brown of Daisy Farm Crafts takes the classic granny stitch structure and updates it into something that feels fresh and contemporary. The peach, light blue, and white color combination is what people notice first — but what makes this blanket genuinely interesting to work is how the stitch pattern shifts between rows, creating interlocking triangles that build the modern graphic quality of the finished piece.

Materials
Caron Simply Soft is a reliable choice for a blanket like this. It is soft enough for everyday use, machine washable, and available in a wide enough color range that you can swap the peach and blue for any two shades that suit your space. The three-color stripe rotation gives the blanket its modern quality, and the colors you choose will completely change the personality of the finished piece — navy and mustard for something bold, sage and blush for something quieter.
One skein of each color is all the pattern calls for at this size. Buy from the same dye lot if you can.

The Pattern
Foundation Chain
Chain 109. The stitch repeat is a multiple of 3 plus 1 — chain any multiple of 3 and add 1 for the pattern to work correctly across any width.
Row 1
Work 1 DC into the 4th chain from the hook. Skip the next 2 chains. Work 3 DC into the next chain. Repeat — skip 2 chains, 3 DC into the next chain — across the row, ending with 2 DC into the last chain. Turn.
Row 2
Chain 3 — counts as first DC. Work 1 DC into the next DC. Chain 2, DC3TOG. Repeat — chain 2, DC3TOG — across. End with chain 2, DC into the next DC, DC into the top of the turning chain. Change to the new color on the final yarn over of the last DC before you complete the stitch. Turn.
Row 3 — New Color
Chain 3. Work 3 DC into the chain-2 space between the last DC3TOG and the 2 DC at the end of the previous row. Work 3 DC into each chain-2 space across. End with 1 DC into the top of the turning chain. Turn.
Row 4
Chain 4 — counts as 1 DC and 1 chain. DC3TOG in the top of each group of 3 DC from the previous row, chain 2. Repeat across. End with chain 1, DC into the top of the ch-3 turning chain. Change to the new color on the final yarn over before completing the last stitch. Turn.
Row 5 — New Color
Chain 3. Work 1 DC into the DC at the base of the chain-3. Work 3 DC into each chain-2 space across. End with 2 DC into the top of the 3rd chain of the turning chain. Turn.
Row 6
Chain 3. Work 1 DC into the next DC. Chain 2, DC3TOG. Repeat — chain 2, DC3TOG — across. End with chain 2, DC into the next DC, DC into the 3rd chain of the turning chain. Change to the new color on the final yarn over. Turn.
Pattern Repeat
Repeat Rows 3 through 6 until the blanket reaches your desired length.
A Note on Stitch Counts
As you work through the color rotations you will notice the number of triangle groups shifts slightly between rows — some rows will have one more or one fewer group than the row before. This is not a mistake. Rows ending with 2 DC at the edge will have fewer triangle groups across the center. Rows ending with 1 DC will have one more. The pattern accounts for this and the blanket stays the correct width throughout.
Border
Simple Version: After weaving in all ends, pull up a loop in any corner and work single crochet evenly around the entire blanket. Work 3 SC into each corner stitch to keep the corners lying flat.
Decorative Version: On the final row worked in white, do not complete the top half of the last triangle. Instead, work around the blanket by working 2 DC into each corner and 2 DC into the side of the posts along the edges. At the bottom of the blanket, work 3 DC into each stitch as normal. Once around, slip stitch to the beginning of the last white row. Then work 3 rounds of HDC slip stitch into the back loop only — yarn over, insert hook into the back loop, yarn over, pull through all loops on hook. A small braid forms as you work around. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Both borders work well with this blanket. The simple SC version is faster. The decorative version adds a finished edge that complements the geometric quality of the main stitch pattern.
