About Granny Square Planner
Granny Square Planner is a knitting and crochet planner / calculator to help plan granny square blankets.
Granny Square Planner helps plan blankets using a multi-step process:
Step 1: Plan your blanket width and height in number of granny squares.
Step 2: Set the number of colors per granny square, and the total number of colors that you want to use. For example, you might want 3 colors per square, but 4 total colors.
Step 3: Set border color. If you're not using a border, then turn off the border option.
Step 4: Set square colors. For each color that you add using the color picker, you should add a corresponding name so that you can view your pattern as text.
Step 5: Choose squares to include on your blanket. This step shows you all of the possible granny squares that your color combinations can make. If there are any that you absolutely do not want, then uncheck the box next to the square.
Step 6: View your granny square blanket. There is a randomize button at the bottom to automatically create a new blanket. If you get a blanket that you like, press the "save blanket" option. If your blanket is close, then touch one of the granny squares to replace it with a new square. This effectively gives you the option to completely plan every granny square.
After your blanket is saved, you can revisit Step 6 and then press the "View As Text" button to see a text-based version of your app.
Granny Square Planner is a new app. More features are planned for the future. Please email the developer with ideas!

Needs some improvement. I needed to be able to pick how the squares are designed. For instance, I have a blanket where I use both solid color squares and two-color squares. You should make an option for that kind of thing.

Great way to check out color combinations . I could spend hours on this app just playing with color and pattern combinations! Love it!

This is a great way to pick out your Granny Squares for your blanket's. However, there are some things that I would like to see get improved on this app. The 1st thing is, when I put in the information for how wide and how tall the blanket is that works fine, but when I type how many colors are in my squares, I noticed that if the numbers are different then I can't move forward to the next question because, the app will crash. The next thing is that I know that the app is made to make your Granny Square blanket look more randomly assigned. Just a thought though, what if you don't want the whole thing to look or be randomly assigned. This is the only Granny Square app that I've seen on the Play store, so I hope that you could make this as a new feature or a separate app all together. All in all, this app is great and I think it will make things so much easier for most people. Thanks for making it.

Would like other options for square colors. Example, if i make a blanket of 176 squares but want some squares all 1 color, some squares 2 colors and some squares 3 colors. I can only set it up to make ALL squares 1, 2 or 3 colors. Cant mix them up!

It would be great to be able to mark off the squares that have been done and also to be able to resize so you can see the whole blanket on the screen to see the full pattern

It would be fantastic if you could have a option to input final size (cm/inches) then also to have random size squares. So 2 rounds, 3 rounds and 4 rounds in the same blanket. Hope that makes sense.

Like being able to quickly visualize before hand. Like being able to place squares where I want as well as hitting the randomizer.

Wish you could make solid squares instead of multi colored
