Work as many squares as you want for your blanket, (I would recommend a min of 30 squares) lay down the squares the way you want them sewn together. Sew together: for that lay both good sides on each other and sew through only the back loops to get a hidden join

Additionally, you could add a Crochet Border:
with 1 sc in each stitch and 2 sc 2 ch 2 sc in edges.
2 Row is a mussel stitch around, start with 10 dc in the edge, ***2 ch and jump over 2 stitches, 1 sc, jump over 2 stitches and 5 dc*** repeat till next edge and 10 dc in edge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sew in all threads and finish the Blanket.
