GAUGE:

Rnds 1-3 of square = 4 in. [10 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Downloadable Pattern: The Afghan Squared Reviewed by Grace A. Hunter on 2008-04-02 *****
My sister and I haven't crocheted in years and wanted to get back to it. I found this pattern and got the kit as a holiday gift for my sister. I loved it so much I got one for myself, too! We had a great time doing them together. At the end, my sister came up with the idea of putting a boarder around it, so, using the Blush Heather, she single-crocheted in every stich. The blanket looked great! It came out exactly like the picture (except the border was added). You may want to get extra yarn to make it bigger.
