Use this 3 inch chain stitch crochet afghan square pattern to use up your tiniest amounts of scrap yarn. A few ideas would be a scarf, a doll blanket, or even a full-sized afghan if you have a lot of scraps to work with.
As is, this little square is perfect to go with a flat-braid join. But if you wanted to use a join with more solid stitches you could easily add a single crochet border.
