What is the bobble stitch used in this pattern, exactly?

It's a cluster made from three partial (unfinished) double crochets worked into the same stitch, then closed by pulling through all four loops at once. That single closing motion is what creates the plump, raised bump that gives the square its farmhouse texture

How big is the finished granny square?

Worked over five rounds in DK yarn with a 3.50mm hook, it finishes at 6 inches by 6 inches. Your gauge and blocking will affect the exact size, so make one square first if you're planning to join many together

Can a beginner make this square?

Yes, as long as you're comfortable with double crochet and chain-space corners. The bobble is the only new technique, and it's very approachable once you've practiced it a few times on a scrap. It sits right at the confident-beginner to intermediate level

How many squares do I need for a blanket?

It depends on the size you want. Since each square is roughly 6 inches, a cozy baby blanket needs about 30 squares in a 5-by-6 layout, while a generous lap throw takes closer to 48. Add a border round to each for a little extra size

Why is my square not lying flat?

Curling usually points to tight tension around the bobbles, and rippling means there are too many stitches along a side. Recount each round against the pattern, keep your bobble closing loops relaxed, and give the finished square a gentle block to set it perfectly square
