Next, these lovely amazing squares are a marine-themed, highly textured building block to incorporate into your projects. To summarize, this is a small square, 4″ on a side, which will be great to incorporate into afghans, blankets or other projects. However, the block itself is quite thick and will give a larger project a lovely drape.
Of course, the neat thing about amazing squares is that they’re classy and timeless. Moreover, they often combine varying textures and colors, as in here.
Here is another variation of popcorn heart blanket and the squares to make it, also designed by Lisa Hooper. Overall, no words are needed – it’s just that gorgeous.

Next, no 3 square ideas would be complete without a touch of mystery and nighttime mystique. In these cool purples and blues, the Maya square fits the bill ideally.
Of course, African flower crochet is also another beautiful addition. Therefore, let’s enrich our collection of 3 square ideas with this timeless, yet au currant design.
Of course, this next popcorn heart blanket is as sweet as a small baby… almost (it’s obvious that nothing can compare to those small hands, feets and uncontrolled grins of a tiny face :). So, let’s say a rainbow bobble heart is the next sweetest thing!
If you're like me and my kiddos, you might use a lot of emojis in your test messages. I was scrolling through the various emoji images a few weeks ago and it occurred to me that the animal faces would make perfect corner to corner (c2c) squares! These square graphs are the perfect size for baby loveys, pillow covers (although I'd recommend going down a hook size to an H/5mm), one square of a larger blanket, one side of a tote bag, or as wall art (just add a dowel rod and hang it up!).
My second Christmas graph is an Elf. Did you know that Elves became linked with Santa Claus in the 1823 poem known today as "The Night Before Christmas"? In that poem, Santa Claus is referred to as a "jolly old elf". Today, we think of elves like they are depicted in the movie Elf (one of our family's favorites!); working hard in the North Pole making toys for children. These squares are the perfect size for baby loveys, pillow covers, one square of a larger blanket, one side of a tote bag, or as wall art.
This free crochet hooded baby afghan pattern will give your favorite child the chance to feel like a cozy little panda. The blanket is created first and then hood is added after, requiring only one simple seam at the top of the hood. The size and weight of this hooded afghan makes it great for kids approximately 1.5-5 years old. You can customize the pattern to make a crochet koala or a cute polar bear too!
