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."

Victorian Romance Square
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."
Cabin on the Beach Afghan Square
"This easy crochet afghan pattern pays homage to the traditional Log Cabin quilt squares with a beachy crochet version! You can make this pattern into afghan blocks for a fun pieced afghan, or simply continue on for a fun continuous blanket pattern. This makes an excellent crochet stash buster- as you'll use just about 100 yards of each color for the 12" crochet afghan square blocks. Make it into a true scrap blanket, or use the colors of your choice for a cohesive look."
Ocean Granny Square Afghan
The Ocean Granny Square Afghan is made by crocheting solid granny squares in 3 different shades of blue and white. The following appliques are made: octopus, jelly fish, puffer fish, star fish, shark, dolphin, sea turtle, sea horse, sting ray, coral, tropical fish, clown fish, sea shell, whale, and crab. The appliques are sewn onto the surface of half of the granny squares and arranged in a checkered pattern. The afghan measures 30" x 36" making a baby sized blanket. However, the afghan may be made larger by making more squares.
Blackwork-Style Squares Free Pattern
The Blackwork-Style Squares crochet pattern by Kathryn A. Clark brings the delicate art of embroidery into crochet. Featuring Hobbii Amigo and Hobbii Winter Glow yarn, it is ideal for intermediate crocheters who like working with intricate detail. This project is also a perfect opportunity for you to explore the interlocking filet crochet technique.
The Blackwork-Style Squares pattern calls for a 3.5 mm hook, allowing for very fine stitching in this interlocking-method project. It features a geometric design reminiscent of traditional blackwork embroidery but is much more three-dimensional due to the cable-like effect.
These squares can be used individually as decorative hot pads or joined together to create a stunning pillow cover or blanket. Whether you decide to make a true statement piece or a king-size afghan, this project combines aesthetic appeal and functionality. For the intermediate crocheter looking for a touch of embroidery flair, the Blackwork-Style Squares pattern makes a perfect choice!
Cabled Blooms 12" Afghan Square
My very first afghan square design! I needed to design a 12" afghan square for a collaboration with another designer, but for the life of me I couldn't come up with a design. Then it hit me! Cables, I need to design a cabled afghan square to stay true to myself. That's when the Cabled Blooms afghan square was born. I love the solid version, but admit that the multi-colored version is great as well. The design includes a couple plains rounds of single crochet at the end that you can omit if you'd like.
