Free Crochet Pattern

 The Trail Square is my latest free crochet pattern. I love how well the colors worked up. When looking at this square I can’t help but think of Fall. Thank you Lion Brand for sending me this fun yarn to work with. Hope you enjoy it!

    I think thsi would be beautiful scaled up into one big queen sized afghan. I love the texture and “rustic” nature of this. Well done!

      Hi TigerKim,

      Thanks for visiting. I am in the process of making this square into a nice big blanket. It may take me sometime as I have a few other deadlines to take care of first.

      Have a great weekend,

      Mistie
