Want to level up your crochet skills in a fun, not-overwhelming way? You have to try this amazing modern square crochet blanket! This free pattern from Off the Hook for You is the perfect project for beginners. It’s designed to teach you a variety of new stitches, one week at a time.
You’ll start with simple squares and then gradually build up to more textured designs like front post double crochet and even circles with wheel effects. Making just one square at a time is so much less intimidating than tackling a whole blanket! Plus, each square has a white border, so when you join them, the blanket has a super clean, cohesive look. You’ll end up with a beautiful, cozy afghan and a whole lot of new skills under your belt. You’ve got this!
