Squares and Blocks
I've been wanting to make a garden inspired afghan for awhile now. I was envisioning various floral afghan squares all pieced together. After playing around with some designs, I worked out this Aubrieta Bloom Afghan Square crochet pattern and I'm really loving it! I really hope you guys love it too! Since the written pattern can be a bit wordy, I also included a stitch diagram of the square for those of you who like to follow along in a more visual way. Enjoy!! Here is what you will need: 4 colors worsted or Aran weight yarn (shown here in Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice) CA Choice Lilac - 191 CB Fern - 171 CC Dusty Green - 173 CD Linen - 99 US J/6 mm hook scissors and yarn needle

English Garden Afghan Square
Squares and Blocks
The English Garden Afghan Square is a crochet granny square that features rows of unique stitches and bright, vivid colors. This crochet square would make a perfect accent square in a crochet granny square afghan, and would look great in any color.
From the Designer: "This square is gorgeous! It has a decidedly geometrically organized look, like a formal english garden and the color combinations just speak of the blooms in a garden. Of course you can make it in as many or few colors as you like since the square also has nice texture. Pair it with simple solid squares for a truly elegant throw.
Linen Log Cabin Square
Squares and Blocks
Do you love quilting and crochet? Because you're in luck with the Linen Log Cabin Square! It's a combination of a very classic design, the Log Cabin, but uses the linen stitch to give it a little more texture and dimension. This design is a quick and fun way to use up the many odds and ends of yarn you (and I) have all over the place. You may sell all finished products made from this pattern; however you may not share, sell, or distribute this pattern in any way, in whole or in part. I would greatly appreciate a link back to my shop or this pattern anytime you sell this item online.

You can make any sized blanket with as many or as little squares as you desire. You can even get creative and make a small throw pillow using the square.
Striped Flower Garden

The Striped Flower Garden square features a dimensional flower in the center, and then square rounds of different colors and sizes to the edge.

You could even make a blanket with multiple squares each made of a different color. Get creative and have fun!
