Here’s an easy and fun motif to crochet! Make a few blocks for a pillow or a bag. Whip up a few more than that and you could crochet up a blanket.
Hook: I used a 5.5 mm/I hook which yielded a motif 4 ½”x 4 ½” corner to corner. Of course, you can make it larger or smaller by changing hooks.
Yarn used : Red Heart Spring Green and Red Heart Hunter Green
