Welcome to the final block of the Riverwood Square CAL 2025 – the Blessed Square! This 24th and final design wraps up our journey with soft height and structure through basic stitches, Back Loop Only, and the airy flow of treble crochet. It’s a fitting finish to a collection built on creativity, connection, and calm stitches.
Whether you’ve been with us since the first square or are joining near the end, this square is designed to celebrate the progress, joy, and community we’ve shared throughout this crochet along.

📌 Soft Height & Smooth Finish
The Blessed Square adds subtle lift and movement through treble crochet, creating visual interest without overwhelming the design. Rows of Back Loop Only stitches help anchor the piece, while basic stitches provide a comforting foundation that blends beautifully with the rest of the collection.
This square works up smoothly and serves as a gentle, polished ending to the Riverwood journey — a reminder that the final details matter just as much as the beginning.
