Square #5: Spin Cushions Square

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Yarn needed: one color of medium weight (4) yarn

Skills needed: chain, double crochet, slip stitch

Pattern: http://spincushions.com/in-a-spin-week-1/ About 3/4 of the way down the page, there's a Block 1-US Version pattern.  That's what you want to make!  This is part of a larger afghan, so there will be some notes about that in the pattern, but you can ignore that!

Notes: This varies from the traditional granny square we started out with but only because instead of skipping stitches and using the chain spaces, you'll make a double crochet in each stitch of the previous row.  I really like the way this one turned out and think this pattern is pretty fun!

To make it 6", just repeat Row 2 until it's about 5 1/2" then do the border row.

As always, if you have any questions, comment below or e-mail me at crochetwithanna@gmail.com.
