Battenberg Blanket

Here is the next square blanket. Start with small squares using basic stitches. Once you have enough squares, join them together with a whipstitch or slip-stitch. The voids setting out 90 degree squares neatly offset the colored squares at 45 degrees to them.

Next, this granny crochet bag is a beautiful tote with the squares set on their corners, evocative of the Battenberg cake. In particular, I love the white bands that crisply delineate the yummy squares.

Beautiful Shell Afghan

We haven’t looked at a square-based pattern yet, so I’d like to fix this glaring omission now. Thus, here is one such project. Start by crocheting small squares and join them together into a blanket when you have enough of them. You can customize your afghan by choosing different colors and arranging the squares in various patterns.

Elsewise, you can incorporate squares made using a different pattern… or even of a different size – so long as the sizes are even multiples of one another. However, this shell square is still one of my favorites.
