Here is a square that’s simply perfect for building larger projects. Also, it’s a wonderful, fabulous piece of art that will function great by itself.

Modern Granny Afghan
It’s a granny afghan, but granny’s put on her air pods and has gone to Starbucks for a salt caramel frappucino. This means it’s a modern take on a timeless classic. It uses interwoven blocks instead of squares. As a result, you get a more cohesive and interesting texture without a traditional granny square look.
Likewise, the size is also easily adjustable, and this project can be sized using both yarn weights and rows numbers. It can be a baby blanket, a giant bedspread or anything in between.

Stashaholic’s Brain Dead Afghan
Looking beyond the très amusant name, this is a lovely afghan pattern with a gorgeous, shingled texture. The pattern is designed to use up an existing yarn stash, instead of buying a bunch of new stock. Of course, the reason we would use up the yarn stash is so that we can buy more yarn, which may make the last point a bit self-defeating.

Easy Ripple Afghan
A ripple afghan is always a very popular item as it is eye-catching and colorful.
Although straight lines are fun, these wavy ripples are so much more enjoyable and rich. Use a yarn weight chart to match textures.
