Squares are one of my favorite things to crochet, because they are the most versatile. You can leave them as they are, or use them separately – it will be a good idea for all possible kinds of table decorations.
You can repeat the pattern and make a big blanket, or make each square different and create a patchwork design. There are just so many options, so be sure to try some out! Sometimes you can work one square and see where the imagination leads you. Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
