Of course, African flower crochet is also another beautiful addition. Therefore, let's enrich our collection of 3 square ideas with this timeless, yet au currant design.

Windows Border
The Windows Border is an easy two round pattern that can work with just about any pattern, but it is particularly suited when you're bordering squares or blocks that have been joined by one of the loopy methods, where chain loops are made all the way around the square. This would include the Tight Braid Join, Scallop Join, Flat Braid Join, and more! And I think it looks like little windows with pretty curtains - but the modern, graphic style will work with tons of patterns! For the hook and yarn, use whatever you've been using for the rest of your project.
Nordic Dove C2c Square
"Beautiful C2C Christmas crochet square pattern inspired by Scandinavian style decor. My Nordic Dove C2C crochet square is great for blankets, pillows or as a wall hanging on its own. I designed this beautiful C2C Christmas square as part of a special crochet along event celebrating the beauty of nordic style. This nordic Christmas square uses corner to corner crochet technique.

Circle to Square Granny Square
What makes this granny square different is that it's a solid granny square that begins as a circle and gradually turns into a square. Just like a classic granny square crochet pattern, the possibilities for these little suckers are really endless!
