Simple Afghan Square

This is a very simple afghan square which you can make with any kind of yarn that you have on hand. Note that if you use a thick yarn, the square will be a larger size, and when using a thin yarn it will be smaller.

Depending on what kind of yarn you use, you can use this pattern to make afghans, scarves, place mats and other things. And the great thing about afghan squares is that you can join them with fancy, or contrasting stitches for a unique design.

It is a great beginner crochet pattern, as the stitches are easy to make, and the pattern is easy to follow.

Material: Any worsted weight yarn
Hook size: Any hook suitable for yarn
