Vanna'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 a decreasing technique to create an open fabric. Work up as many squares as you want to create any size blanket you choose! This pattern includes resources to help with joining each motif when you're done. Quick and easy! 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!"
