Six inch squares

When you read that post title, are you expecting six inch quilt blocks, or six inch crochet blocks?

Yes, this time it’s crochet! I started these squares on New Year’s Eve, and only finished weaving in the ends yesterday. Some projects have little rest periods between the beginning and end! They are all from Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs by Edie Eckman (although this book is full of non-square motifs I did four squares….). Here they are in more detail.

I added a few rows to the outside of each square to get them up to six inches. They are all worked in 8 ply wool with a 4mm hook. These squares were a good learning experience as most involved some stitch combinations I have never used before. They’re all heading off in the mail today to become part of a charity blanket.
