This will be my first freebie on the blog, I hope you like it.
I have designed this square some time ago and it was meant to be a baby blanket, but, depending on the yarn you choose, it can be used for what your imagination allows.
It's the right project for an advanced beginner/intermediate crocheter, since it has some stitches that go beyond the most basic: cluster and the front post stitch.
I wish you have fun trying out the square and let me know your thoughts through your comments.
