Free Crochet Square Pattern

Free crochet square pattern

I would like to share this free crochet square pattern with you. With all the fall projects popping up all over the internet lately, is it too late for a summery project? :-)

No, said I, and designed this simple and colorful crochet square pattern.

I made three squares so far, but I am still not sure what to make with them. I am thinking summer bunting, beach bag or use them as coasters for back yard parties. Six squares joined together would make a great place mat for pool parties. What do you think, what should I make? Let me know :-)

I used Lily Sugar and Cream yarn and a 3.75 mm hook (F) for this pattern. Each square is about 4” (10cm).

 

Colors are as follows:

Color A: Hot orange

Color B: Sunshine

Color C: Robins egg

Color D: Hot Blue

Color E: Ecru

Abbreviations: R – round, ch – chain, dc – double crochet, sl st – sleep stitch

With color A.
