This cozy little square is full of texture, colour, and vintage charm, making it perfect for blankets, pillows, bags, or just for fun!😊
Whether you're brand new to crochet or you’ve got a few projects under your belt, this gentle, step-by-step tutorial will guide you through each round—from that magical centre to a beautifully squared-off edge.
🧵 In this video, you'll learn how to:
- Start with a magic ring
- Crochet the starburst-style petals
- Transform your circle into a square
- Finish it off neatly, ready to use or join
✨ What you’ll need:
