This treble crochet square is also a part of a larger project I’ve created with several other designers. The Here Comes Treble Blanket was born with a love of seeing what could be created with this raised stitch. What I learned was so many every day objects or shapes could be made with just these two stitches. This blanket consists of 20 squares that construct one gorgeous blanket. This event is happening right now. You can get the free squares by hitting the button below.
Or you can scoop up the discounted pattern bundle, which features all of the squares(including a bonus square), general information PDF, joining/border instructions, and even charts for all the squares. Find the button below.
