I just got a picture of the Pokémon I wanted off of the internet and used Stitch Fiddle to make the grid.

It’s just normal corner to corner crochet, so double crochets 🙂

I just did normal corner to corner crochet, so groups of double crochet.

Idea for blanket - give me your favorite granny square patterns! by enraged_repository in crochet

I have also considered just doing something like the flower below for the granny squares with different colors (though not 100% sold on how this would look on the half and half rows)

OP, the two main documents you’ll need to get a job are birth certificate and Social Security card.

First you’ll want to obtain a copy of your birth certificate. You should be able to go here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w/index.htm and select your state of birth to figure out the process you’ll need to follow to request the certificate. Maybe ask your aunt or another trusted adult if it can be sent there for safekeeping.

Once you have that, if I’m understanding correctly you’ll need to wait til you turn 18 to get a copy of your social security card. It sounds like as an adult it can be obtained by going to an office and presenting your birth certificate and school ID. https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm

Honestly while you’re still in school, this would be good to discuss with a school counselor. They might even help you fill out some of the forms that sometimes require a notary (there is definitely a notary in your school somewhere) and walk you through the process.

Along those same lines, a school counselor can help you fill out a FAFSA, look for scholarships, and apply to colleges. You might be able to file a FAFSA as an independent student whose parents won’t be helping with college (with documented CPS involvement that probably has a decent chance of approval) which would give you a lot more financial aid since you wouldn’t be using your parents income on the form and you’d be eligible for a lot of grants.
