Is there a written pattern for the border of the spiral granny?
I love the granny square pattern but how many squares would you use
for a baby blanket.
Thank you

What if you wanted to make the squares bigger? Where would you suggest continuing?
I love your video! I love the way you say to pause the video and put the stitches we are working on on the screen. Thank you so much!
Wonderful video. I was wondering why the border round was not in the written pattern? I had to go back to the video to write down the border instructions. Thanks
