Practice the popcorn stitch with this quick crochet granny square pattern!
From the blogger:"During my square designing kick, I first made the Native Sun Square, which had great texture. It was followed by the Mingle Square and the Primrose Square, which are equally as beautiful, but lacking the textures. So, I knew I had to make another that just 'popped.' The design of this 6-inch square reminds me of Victorian-era decor. Plus, the pop stitches look like hearts! This square would be great for many projects, but I definitely like it for an afghan."

Mingle Square
This splendid little crochet granny square is a perfect pattern to use in your next quilt or granny square afghan project!
From the blogger:"Here's another great new 6" granny square design! I just love granny squares and I knew I needed to make a few of my own. The Mingle Square measures 6" when using an H hook. This square would be great for shawls or lacy afghans! It's a simple, yet fun square; the dcs mingle nicely with clusters! This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in any fiber of your choice! However, this could be worked up in any weight to change the finished measurement."
Native Sun Crochet Square
Looking for a fun new 6″ Afghan Square? This is it! It features post stitches and color changes that create a fun pattern. The Native Sun Square, named for its similarity to the Native American symbol for sun, would be great for so many projects: Beach bags, Ponchos, and especially afghans! This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in any fiber of your choice! However, this could be worked up in any weight to change the finished measurement.
Primrose and Proper Ruffled Granny Square Pattern
This simple, but beautiful crochet granny square pattern takes the Primrose and Proper stitch pattern you know so well and re-imagines it in a completely new way. A delicate ruffle frames the center of the square giving it plenty of romantic charm. This square would make a great addition to any sampler afghan, or it can be used as a stand-alone square if you prefer. There is a matching bonus square at the bottom of the post.
Sun And Stars Granny Square
"This sun and star granny square was inspired by the old Victorian images of suns and stars against dark blue backgrounds, but it turn outs that other colour combinations work just as well for this square. Using star stitch as the border, gives the 3D sun centre a lovely frame. You will need aran yarn and 5mm hook. Ideal for intermediate crocheters or inquisitive beginners wanting to try new stitches. This start was originally part of the Friendship CAL but can also work as a standalone project."
Primrose Square
This Primrose square measures 6 inches. It is a simple, beautiful, and feminine square that would look great in multiple different color combinations. This square would be perfect for projects like shawls", bags, or even clothing trim. And of course, it would look great in an afghan! It would also make a great complementary square to mix with other designs. You can easily change the yarn weight you make these with and make them bigger or smaller to fit your needs.
