3″ Open Center Afghan Square

This is a super quick and easy afghan square to crochet. It’s only three inches across, which makes it great for stashbusting. And since you can crochet it with any yarn, you can use it to make an afghan or a baby blanket.

This afghan square might also look great in a bag, skirt, top or a scarf. Your imagination is the only limit, so hope you will enjoy.

And I’d love for you to share your photos on my Facebook page: CrochetN’Crafts.
