Made in three colors of worsted weight yarn, this textured pattern makes a 12” square as written, but once you get the hang of the stitch pattern you can use it for tons of other projects, especially blankets and throws. This would be a great way to use up scraps too - grab your favorite neutral for the main color, then fill in the stripes with your leftovers! Simple stitching, and a terrific introduction to front post stitches.

Dahlia 12" Afghan Square
The inspiration for this square was the beautiful repeating petals of the Dahlia flower. This square may be used by itself or in conjunction with other squares or stitches to make throws, bags, table runners, pillows and more. It is worked in worsted weight yarn and is a generous 12" so that projects work up quickly. The center and flower portion are based on the popular African flower look and then it is surrounded with lacy stitching for interest!
Crossed Afghan Square
From the blogger: "This square may be labeled intermediate due to the post stitches, but it's actually pretty easy to crochet! The varying stitch heights create a fun color pattern, while the post stitches give the overall square some texture. Try playing with different colors or even making the whole thing in one color. Just have fun with it. Once you finish the stitches, cut the yarn and weave in all ends. The finished piece after blocking should measure to be a 12” square. Enjoy!
Primrose and Proper Ruffled Granny Square Pattern
