Today’s post is all about the colorful play all the crocheters love. It is amazing how versatile most designs are and how easy it is to change their character by using different yarn styles and colors. This phenomenon lets us come back to our favorite patterns all year round as all we have to do is get creative with the right shades. Color Shifting Squares are going to surprise you!

Shifty Little Square
This square really is quite shifty. As you work the pattern, you use back and third loops and alternate between popcorn, picot and crossed stitches. This gives it the appearance of the square “growing” from the inside and morphing shape as it does. It’s really quite beautiful and different enough that it will make your square-based afghans or blankets really unique. The pattern is designed for 9 and 12-inch squares. The link to the free pattern is under the photo.

Shifty Little Square got refreshed for spring and gained a totally different character. It is youthful, energizing, and charming, all thanks to this delicious cocktail of light-toned, but still bold shades of pink, yellow and green. Well then, are you going to celebrate the new season with a new afghan?
