The Crochet Fair and Square Blanket by Yarnspirations is a simplistic granny square with a twist.
You will definitely see two colours are being used in this blanket. Those are not cut and added on to make it feel like a project that goes on forever. Instead, the yarn is carried up along a corner. You carry the yarn up on the wrong side so it won't interfere with the right side, the side you would look at if on display in your home.
Brittany, host of B.Hooked Crochet, will demonstrate how to complete this project. It's well done!

Brittany- you are a wonderful teacher! So thorough with clear explanations of each stich group and row. I'm a very new crocheter and I was able to understand and follow along though only my head over my am coffee not yet with yarn. Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us.

This looks awesome but is there a different tutorial that uses the carrying method described in the article?

that was my thought, too - this was not what it was supposed to be about - this was simply how to make the granny squares and attach them. I hate weaving in ends - wanted to see how else to do it without using an invisible join after cutting each thread. With that method, I often don't have my knots in exactly the right spot and start the next round with a stitch or two of the incorrect color. I could use a tutorial on that, too.
