So between my own Babette project and the blanket my club is putting together for a charity project I've got well over 100 little bits and pieces of blankets littering my house.
That said, joining squares is nothing new to anyone who has been crocheting for any length of time. A quick google search of Crochet Granny Joins brings up all sorts of useful things. I'm using a simple whip stitch to join my Babette squares, but for the club blanket, with both crochet and knit squares, all roughly (and roughly is a good way to term it) 5" I need something that's going to be a little more forgiving of the differences between the squares. I decided to try a flat chain join.
Believe it or not, between these two blankets, this is the first time I've actually been joining things together like this. Both of these were little experiments for me. This is the video I used on the chain join courtesy of Drops Design. Here's a sampling of the club blanket. I've got twice that many squares again to add on after this though.
