Arrange your squares in a pleasing pattern and join them together row by row.
After joining all the squares, you can add a border to your blanket if desired. Simply single crochet evenly around the entire edge of the blanket, adding extra stitches in the corners to keep the edges flat. You can customize the border with different stitches or colors to give your blanket a unique finishing touch.
