Is This Pattern Suitable For Confident Beginners?
This crochet granny square will suit intermediate crocheters best. The pattern includes only a stitch diagram and there are no written instructions. Therefore, it’s not recommended for beginners and those who don’t know how to read crochet diagrams.
What Crochet Stitches Are Used In This Pattern?
The granny square features a textured cable cross motif and diagonal open stitch lines. The cables are done by working front post double crochets and front post treble crochets. It’s a great way to add depth and dimension to your pieces.
What Yarn Is Recommended For The Ela Pattern?
You can use any yarn you want to create these amazing crochet afghan squares. The designer used Scheepjes Stone Washed, a soft blend of cotton and acrylic in delicate, muted colors. If you want your squares to be the same size as the ones seen in the photos, be sure to use sport-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook.
