Any input appreciated

So I've been looking at those way nifty Tetris blankets and have decided that I want to make one of my own. In a fit of what I am sure is poor judgement, I've also decided that it would be way cool to make a load of blankets featuring various game sprites and the like, but that's putting the cart before the horse.

Unfortunately, I have very little experience working with granny squares. Where "very little" actually equals "none" ^^; (What have I been working on? Well...)

How do you actually attach granny squares together? Do I just go in with a yarn needle and sew them together, or is there a crochet stitch/technique that does the job? Any granny square patterns y'all would like to suggest/recommend, or should I just resign myself to doing rows?

What are your thoughts on yaoi granny squares?

Tetris blankets are awesome! :D

I use mattress stitch to sew together granny squares; it's more or less invisible and really easy to do.

I found a video on youtube that explains how to do it really well, but I can't figure out how to embed it here, so here's a link. Hope that helps!

They are so awesome! Just have to remember not to let everything line up, or they'll fall apart ;)

Hmm; I don't know if I want invisible for a Tetris blanket, but there's other projects it would definitely be great for.

Linking is great, thanks so much :) I'll go take a look at that post-haste.
