Slanted Stitch Square

The Slanted Stitch Square brings the variety with the special stitches it incorporates. The slant, cross single crochet, and x-stitch all appear in the rows of this granny square pattern. The rich plum color and white balance each other to create an elegant square pattern that can be used for so many things:  as a granny square afghan, prayer reminder, decoration, and more. The six-inch square has strategic open spaces that work with the pattern to create alternating designs of loose and closed stitches.  A devotional is also featured as part of this pattern.
