12″ Squares

These free crochet patterns for 12″ squares are great for crocheting up large or small blankets, from baby blankets to full-sized blankets for the bed. Use this blanket size chart to help you decide how big to make yours.

They are great scrapbusters as you can use different colored yarns to create bright and beautiful squares that you can use for many other projects, not just for afghans.

Pillows to match your blankets are just one example of what you can do with these granny square crochet patterns. Since these are only 12 inches, you might need to add a few extra rounds to the squares to bring them up to the standard 16 inches. But that is easy to do with simple double crochets, or whatever stitch compliments the square best!
