Magnolia, A Lace "Granny" Square Pattern

"It's easy to crochet a beautiful, lace "granny" square afghan with this flower-inspired crochet pattern!  Post stitches create the outline of a Magnolia blossom in the center of the square, while clusters and puffs create a lacy border. Granny squares can be used to crochet your own unique blanket, and they are quick and easy projects that you can take anywhere in your project bag. The Magnolia square will give you a warm, but lacy looking afghan when you sew it together, and with a lace boarder it will have a vintage/heirloom feel."
