Danyel's Afghan Square: Simple Crochet Pattern Motif

"If you love to crochet blankets, give this colorful, textured afghan motif a try! This design is worked in joined rounds and includes the popcorn stitch for raised texture. It's a great afghan (blanket) option because: Blocks are worked individually, then joined when you're done! Small motifs are much more portable than other traditional crochet blanket designs! Use any yarn you like to make your afghan block (the finished sizes are up to you)! You'll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: joined rounds, color changes, specialty stitches, gauge & size, finishing techniques & more! "
