How to Arrange Colours for Granny Squares

I've been asked the best way to choose colours for each round of a granny square. This is the video in which I explain my preferred method of making granny squares. It's the quickest production line to create a beautiful but random balance of shades.

I may also get sidetracked by escaped bears...

Crocheting a granny square baby blanket is a great opportunity to show you how to arrange the colours for each round of granny squares. It's a demonstration that provides a pretty good overview of what I was talking about in my recent video about choosing colours for crochet:    • Choosing Colours for your Crochet  

I am using a 4mm hook and double knitting weight yarn in a wool/acrylic blend. Here is the affiliate link to Paintbox Wool Blend DK: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/pa...
The yarn shades are Sand, Mint, Dijon, Bright Coral, Deep Teal, River, Dusk. Cupcake Pink and Grape. FYI, I bought the yarn with my own money.
