PART 32
✵ How It Works:
Each week, you'll receive a brand-new square pattern straight to your inbox (make sure you're on the mailing list so you never miss a pattern!).
Crochet two squares in complementary colours to practice the technique—and by the end of the week, you’ll have two finished pieces that show off your progress and growing confidence. 🌟
With every new square, your collection grows—adding texture, skill, and beauty to your future blanket. It’s a fun and relaxed way to improve your crochet skills, stay creatively inspired, and craft something truly one-of-a-kind, all at your own pace. ✨

✵ Materials You’ll Need
Yarn Recommendations
Yarn: Worsted weight (#4) yarn is ideal—easy to work with and great for beginners.
Fiber: Go for organic cotton or wool for softness, durability, and crisp stitch definition.
Colours: Use two complementary shades per square for contrast and texture.
Inspiration combos:
🌿 Forest green & cream
❄️ Smoky grey & pale blue
🌼 Yellow & muted lavender
Using two colours really makes your stitches shine!
Yarns to Avoid
Skip slippery yarns like silk blends or super thin lace-weight cotton—they can be tricky to control and might cause frustration. Go for something soft, smooth, and easy to work with.

🧶 Yarn & Hook Tips for This Pattern
Recommended Yarn
Try Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling Yarn in a light color. It’s beginner-friendly, doesn’t split easily, and the stitches show up clearly—perfect for practice. Plus, it holds up well wash after wash.
Best Hook to Use
Start with a G-6 (4mm) hook for worsted weight yarn. Metal or plastic hooks work great for beginners—they help the yarn glide smoothly.
If you're looking for a full set, the Yarniss Crochet Hook Set on Amazon is a great choice. It includes 14 sizes (2mm–10mm), has comfy rubber grips, and smooth aluminum tips to help keep your tension just right.

🪡 How This Square Is Worked
This square is worked in rounds, with the stitch count increasing evenly in each round to maintain its shape. The increases are grouped at the four corners, forming defined corner spaces that help the square lie flat and grow evenly.

Start each new round with a slip stitch and six chain stitches.

Finish
Fasten off.
Cut yarn and pull through the loop to secure.
Weave in all ends securely on the wrong side.
Block your square if desired to shape and even out the stitches.
Tips for Success with This Crochet Pattern
▶ Count your stitches at the end of each round.
Make sure you have the correct number of stitches per side before joining. Catching a missed stitch early is much easier than undoing several rounds later.
▶ Work your corners into the chain space — not the stitches.
All corner groups (2 double crochet, chain 4, 2 double crochet) should be worked into the chain space. This keeps your square flat and evenly shaped.
▶ Keep your chain stitches relaxed.
If your chain-4 corners are too tight, your square may curl. Loosen your tension slightly on the chain stitches to help the square lie flat.
✨You Did It ✨
