I have not croched for a long time but I remember when I first learned I made a lot of pot holders with these squares. I have been wanting to get back into crochet and this is a great place to start because you can put these squares together and make quilts or dollies. You can use as many colors as you want too. Thanks for the directions.

This is a great project for anyone from beginner to advanced. It's so easy to make. You can whip up a bunch in no time. This would make a very pretty place mat, table runner, wall hanger, baby throw or afghan. It's versatile and you get to use up your scrap yarn!
