The Arboretum Square is a fun colorful twelve inch Afghan square. It's perfect for blankets, car seat covers, bags, and wall hangings. It can be made in one color or up to sixteen colors. It looks just as good in Ombre colors as it would in Rainbow colors. It goes perfectly with the twelve inch Botanical Garden Square, but could also be paired with one of the five 6 inch afghan squares I also have on my blog.

English Garden Afghan Square
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.
Botanical Pot Holder / Hot Pad
I found a really pretty pattern on *Yarnspirations the other day called Botanical Crochet Dishcloththat I thought would be perfect as a fall hot pad. I think these are always nice hostess gifts to bring along with me to dinners or get together with friends or family so I'm always making a few in my spare time.
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. When made in worsted weight yarn such as Red Heart With Love, the square is 12″. Due to the texture, the Striped Flower Garden square would also look lovely in one solid color. You could even make a blanket with multiple squares each made of a different color. Get creative and have fun!
