Team Hooker : Ideas for Patterns
For the blanket projects we use a size 4 crochet hook, and we welcome squares that are both simple and complex. Included in the section are pattens that have been recommended.
Pattern Ideas
Many of the patterns below are sourced from Ravelry, which is the essential resource for knitters and crocheters; it’s free to register and has gazillions of free patterns to try out. Note: these are not all for 6” squares. Many of them are for larger dishcloths and need resizing before they will be 6” in a double knit yarn.
Hearts
Hearts are often a theme for a blanket project
Butterflies
Flowers
