You can use either Caron One Pound yarn or Caron Simply Soft yarn.
Yarn Quantities

The sampler lent itself to great ideas as Laura Jean discovered. You can get the free patterns for the Stitch Along Here.
While watching TV, she noticed there was an afghan on the back of the sofa on the TV Show, Young Sheldon. So with the inspiration in mind, she developed Sheldon Sq'd.
The pattern is free to download at your convenience. You can make the squares and whip-stitch them together. Have fun with the colours.

Hey Mikey! I just discovered your how-to video for the square filet crochet pattern creation based on the blanket in the Young Sheldon TV series. It is spot on & really like. Unfortunately both of the suggested yarns make a square that appears to be significantly larger than the actual blanket as it appears in the show. Season 1 episode 14 shows child Sheldon sitting on the blanket, which gives perspective to the square sizes, which appear to be the same length as the child size short sleeve shirt sleeve he is wearing. What yarn would you recommend from the Yarnspiration line for making the square that would have similar colors available for a reasonable facsimile & make the square smaller using as the pattern instructions as written? Thanks!

You may have to reduce your hook down but without knowing how big the squares truly are, I really don't know. You may be looking for possibly Caron Simply Soft that is on the thinner side of #4. With reducing the hook and using Caron Simply Soft, you'll be able to reduce the size. Will be easier for you to look through the Catalogue of Caron Simply Soft as the link I am providing here to see if there are colours you prefer. https://www.yarnspirations.com/en-ca/products/caron-simply-soft-yarn?utm_campaign=2023_08_17_Caron_Simply_Soft_Yarn&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=Influencer_TCC
Best wishes and happy new year.

Watching the show now and a close-up of the blanket has no bobbles, just chain spaces where the bobbles in the pattern are.
Mikey says
I don't understand. Can you explain more.
Leah Hiett says
The rows that are bobble/popcorn in the pattern are actually ch 1- sk 1 spaces. I have a screenshot of it but I can’t attach it.

I can take a screen shot at inquiry@thecrochetcrowd.com. I'll check the video tutorial and the pattern to make sure it's aligned. First I am hearing the video tutorial isn't matching the pattern.
Danny says
There are multiple blankets.
Karen L says
I am making this afghan using 3 different colors. Do you have a diagram of a good layout for 3 colors? Thoroughly enjoying the pattern - looks intricate yet it is so simple!
Mikey says
I don't I'm sorry. It was crocheted as a 1 colour square.
Penny says
I don't mean to be rude, but there seems to be a few errors in the written pattern. Rnds 2, 3, 4 and 6 mention ch-2 sp instead of ch-3 and rnd 6 also has the abbreviation of cc instead of dc.
Mikey says
Thank you so much for calling this to my attention. I have just revised the PDF and unloading the Rev 5 shortly. I know LJ was working through this trying to find the right combos for the corners and probably just overlooked that when editing. 🙂
Evangeline Erdman says
is it possible for the crochet "sheldon" squared blanket pattern be sent to my email address? It is alot easier for me to do it from the written pattern.
Jennifer Seiler says
Love this pattern.
Flew through pattern until row 11 and am stumped. Is there. Video for this or one coming soon? Mikey’s video have taught me so much and I appreciate this lovely pattern
Carol Root says
Lovely looking square. Quite classic. Thanks for such a wonderful design, Laura Jean.
Cathy Addison says
I could use some help getting started. Like how to read the instructions better or a pattern diagram.
Lucy Ed. says
This is a quick and easy pattern and I enjoyed making it.
My only criticism is the actual pattern itself is difficult to understand at times. Maybe I’m not used to that style of pattern writing, or I’m missing something but I did find it a bit confusing at first.
Also a stitch count at the end of each row would make it easier to pick up stitch count errors quicker.
Charlene Varry says
That is a very nice pattern. I would probably just keep adding row to make it into a blanket. Amazing what crocheters can do with a pattern they see and want to do something a little different. I like it.
Jackie D says
Any possibility of a diagram for this pattern?
Krista Mead says
