Fritzella Square is the 13th square in the Riverwood Square Crochet Along Series! Make several of this square to make a blanket or use it for other projects. Enjoy!
Thought it would be fun to give this square a name that falls into Fall. For some weird reason it make me think of Fall and Halloween. You will notice this square is a little different from our previous squares but I am sure you are going to love it.
