#crochet square

(free crochet square pattern by Rescued Paw Designs)

Like everyone else out there in the fiber arts world I have a ton of scrap yarn left over from past projects. So of course I decided to whip up a quick pattern for a crochet square to use up all that extra yarn and help us make some more pretty projects! 

Don’t you think these would make a lovely blanket or pillow covering?

• beginner

Materials:

• worsted weight scrap yarn (I used Vanna’s Choice in Oatmeal, Silver Grey, White, Charcoal Grey, and Mustard)

• size J crochet hook 6.00 MM

Notes:

• You will always slip stitch into the first double crochet, not the slip stitch or chain 3 from the previous round. 

• Finished size is approximately 5" x 5"

• You MAY sell items made from this pattern. If you choose to sell items made from any of my patterns please link back to me at www.RESCUEDPAW.com for credit. Do not use my photos to sell any items. Thank you for respecting my work.
