Bubbles - FREE Pattern

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.  

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any doubts or need any help.
