This is a fun square with a braided circle added at the end to represent the circle of life. Lots of lace and texture to make it interesting in combination with others or on its own for an afghan or bedspread, but if you aren't feeling inspired for such a large project, try two of them together to make a throw pillow or line them for a really cool tote bag!! Designed in worsted weight yarn

This is a fun square. It features overlay crochet to create the 3D effect, but don't worry, I have lots of photos to help you through it.

It would even make a beautiful afghan and of course, you could try it in different yarn weights or even crochet thread!

Barcelona Square
The Barcelona Square is a pretty square that takes on a different look when worked in 1, 2 or 3 colors.

This square would be great in combination with others for an afghan or bedspread, but if you aren't feeling inspired for such a large project, try two of them together to make a throw pillow or tote bag!
