The African Flower Square pattern





The African Flower Square pattern is an ideal canvas for personalization. Experiment with different color combinations to create a truly unique square, or combine multiple squares to form beautiful blankets, pillows, or even garments. The African Flower Square’s striking design allows you to infuse your crochet projects with a vibrant and culturally inspired aesthetic.

With just a few materials, you can start your African flower square mold. If you have a few strands of thread and a needle, you can start without fear. If you have doubts about which thread and needle to use, remember that it depends on the purpose of the project.

The purpose of your project will help you a lot in choosing the line and color tones. Therefore, if your project is a baby blanket, you should use softer and more comfortable threads for the baby. Now, if your project is something more robust, you can use darker and stronger lines and tones.

Yarn in your choice of colors.
Crochet hook appropriate for your chosen yarn.
Scissors.
Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
