For my blanket I used the left overs from the Sirdar Happy Cotton Assortment Box (50 shades) - left over yarn from crocheting my Popcorn Floral Blanket which can be found here: with a 4mm Hook

I personally made all my circles first and then used the Slip Stitch ZigZag Join As You Go Method for joining my squares.

If you wish to join your crochet squares AFTER you have made them, you can either sew them together or crochet them together
