I actually worked on two more granny squares, but only one is complete. The first one has several appliques to attach and I grew quickly bored with stitching them on. Once it’s truly complete I’ll post about it. The second square, Floral Kaleidoscope Afghan Square, I finished this morning. My gauge was off a bit, I tend to crochet tightly (beginner’s curse), so I added additional rounds to reach the 12 inch size. Just a slight modification to the pattern, an extra round of double crochet in color C and a final round of single crochet in color D.

I like the design of this square. It included a stitch I hadn’t used before, puff stitch. The more I do these squares, the easier it is to see how to use the stitches to create different effects. I may not be too far off from designing my own squares.
