Alright, I’m slightly obsessed with Pink these days! Check out one of my all time favourite throw patterns. These Granny Squares make for the perfect #Spring couch accessory! Check out the free pattern!

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in 3 colors: Pink: 37oz, White: 10oz, Pale Green: 7oz (I used Caron Simply soft in Victorian Rose, White, and Sage)
• Crochet Hook, size H (5.0mm)
• Embroidery needle with large eye

Notes:

This afghan is made with a bunch of granny squares that are then sewn together and finished off with a lacy edge. It’s a bit time consuming but SO WORTH IT!

Finished size is approx. 50″x64″.
