Agnes Square

Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.

8″ cluster stitch granny square, the Agnes Square. This pattern has a cluster stitch granny square at the center and added texture from crocheting in the back and third loops. What’s a cluster stitch, you ask? It’s basically a bobble that is flattened because there are spaces on the side of it. I’ve linked a video tutorial if you’re new to cluster stitches.
