Easy 5" Crochet Afghan Square
The beautifully Easy 5" Crochet Afghan Square will make sure that your next granny square afghan is bold and exciting. This granny square pattern uses only the most basic crochet stitches to create its design, so even the newest crocheter would be able to complete this in a wink. The pattern can be made in any, and every, color of the rainbow, so you can make your afghan look just the way you want it to! Plus, since each square is relatively small, they can work up super quickly.
From the Designer:
"Not only is this afghan square quick and easy to crochet, but it's also an excellent pattern to help you clean up your yarn stash. Crochet this in a solid color, or change your colors after each or every other round as you prefer."

Another way to clean out my stash. I think alternating between a solid color and a white mix would look very nice. I will pick three or four colors that go together and make both solid and mix in each. Then when finished I will run a border trim of single crochet in each color around the edge. That will dress it up.
