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!

I love afghan blocks with flowers in the center, because they look so cool! This particular block is by Julie Yeager and is a 12” square. The best part is, you can use it to make so many different projects! For instance, blanket, pillow cases, wraps, coasters and so on.
A simple design makes crocheting this mini afghan quick and easy. No need for a border as it is crocheted right into the design. When completed there are shells all around. My mother-in-law used to crochet this pattern as full sized baby afghans. It was her go-to pattern on days when she couldn't follow directions. She always said she didn't have to think when making it. I re-designed it into a mini-afghan to include in my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. A little something for comfort for a child in crisis.
One of the great things I love about crochet is taking an older stitch or technique and putting my own spin on it and that's exactly what I've done here with my ‘Get in Line, Granny! Afghan'. I've taken a typical granny square pattern and added one of my favorite stitches to it to create a new look. Check out the photos in the listing to see both sides of the afghan and decide which is your favorite!

My very first afghan square design! I needed to design a 12" afghan square for a collaboration with another designer, but for the life of me I couldn't come up with a design. Then it hit me! Cables, I need to design a cabled afghan square to stay true to myself. That's when the Cabled Blooms afghan square was born. I love the solid version, but admit that the multi-colored version is great as well. The design includes a couple plains rounds of single crochet at the end that you can omit if you'd like.
