5″ Easy Crochet Square
With lots of open spaces, this easy crochet square works up
You could also use this for a cute children’s bag, a beach bag or anything else you like.
As for yarn, I chose Red Heart Comfort, which is on the thicker side of the #4 worsted weight yarns. If you find that your square is coming out under 5″, you could always add another round of single or double crochets.
