This splendid little crochet granny square is a perfect pattern to use in your next quilt or granny square afghan project!

From the blogger:"Here's another great new 6" granny square design! I just love granny squares and I knew I needed to make a few of my own. The Mingle Square measures 6" when using an H hook. This square would be great for shawls or lacy afghans! It's a simple, yet fun square; the dcs mingle nicely with clusters! This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in any fiber of your choice! However, this could be worked up in any weight to change the finished measurement."

Your little one will stay warm under this creative Dinosaur Lovey Blanket. Because it's a lovey, it also doubles as a cute baby toy!

Dinosaurs are always a favorite animal for kids, which makes this crochet lovey a fun alternative to a regular crochet baby blanket pattern.

What could be more romantic than the French Provincial style? This free 12" afghan square crochet pattern is one of my most textured pieces to date--imagine flowers, vines, trellises, ornate framework on mirrors and table legs--oh my! Incorporating this square into an afghan or home decor project is guaranteed to take to the next level. Knowing how to work post stitches, clusters, shells, and popcorn stitches will make this project go much more smoothly, but the amount of color changes could still slow you down. Allow a bit of extra time to complete this project. You'll feel more relaxed and happy this way, which is the whole point of crochet!

The Touch of Teal Afghan… This is a super easy crochet pattern using only front loop single crochet and back loop double crochet to create the base… The edging is a simple shell pattern. Using a super bulky yarn, this really goes quickly!!! This is a perfect project to make while watching Tv.. Also this makes a perfect gift and will look great in any room of the house!! I used Michael's Loops and Threads Country Loom Yarn in Clear Skies.

This blanket was actually meant to be a baby blanket, but I loved it so much I just made it bigger and kept it for myself. It's a thick and heavy blanket that's so perfect for snuggling into to watch a movie or read a book, which I do a lot of during the Fall/Winter. It's a super easy crochet blanket, but it feels luxurious. It would be an amazing Christmas present if you're looking for something that feels high-end, but it still has a special handmade quality to it. It does use a lot of yarn since there isn't much in each skein, but I think that the wow-factor you get is totally worth it.
