‘X’ marks the spot in this fun crochet square made using front post treble crochet stitches. Four triangles emerge in the shadow of X’s crossing creating a simple afghan square design.
I am thrilled to have the Triangles Crossing Square included in the Here Comes Treble Blanket collaboration with Simply Melanie Jane! Twenty squares created by six crochet designers, coming together to make a one-of-a-kind keepsake blanket!
As always, an ad-free PDF is available in my Ravelry store, as well as, free here on my blog! Enjoy!
