Cotton Breeze Squares – a project using cotton yarn

These are beautiful little squares made with Sirdar Happy Cotton – I used the 20g balls from a set of 50 different colours.

Crocheting with cotton yarn in pastel colors is a delightful experience. The softness of the cotton combined with the gentle hues creates a sensation akin to a cool breeze on a warm day. It’s a soothing and therapeutic process that allows you to immerse yourself in creativity and mindfulness. The end result is a collection of beautiful crochet squares that radiate peace and tranquility.

One of the joys of working with crochet squares is the ability to mix and match colors and patterns. With pastel hues, you have a wide palette to choose from, allowing you to create captivating combinations. Consider creating a patchwork blanket with squares in different pastel shades, or experiment with color gradients to achieve a stunning ombre effect. The possibilities for creativity are truly limitless.

The Spring Square – a modern variation of the Granny Square

I have been wanting a project to use up my yarn stash, and this Granny Square variation is perfect. Each Spring Square requires approximately 7g of DK yarn. These 4 different squares are all based on the same pattern, just with different colour schemes.

You can find the free pattern here.

The squares can be used for a many different projects – here I have made 4 coasters. But I also have been working on a larger project using these squares…..more about this soon.
