Squares and Blocks
"The Ternion Square combines single crochet, trinity stitch, and surface crochet techniques into an interesting geometric pattern. While I designed it in three colors I am already seeing people use its unique block construction to change colors more frequently, add colors, or even use up scraps! Made in Red Heart With Love yarn, or you can substitute another worsted weight, and a J hook. I used two solids and one multi but again, you can go crazy and change colors in every block if you prefer!"
