Variation of Julie's 8" LadySquare

This square is a variation of the square designed for the Ladies of the Square Circle. I was about half way through making the squares when I decided I wanted a change but not a drastic one. So I changed the way the colors were put together and changed some of the rows and this square is the result.

Materials Needed For each square
2 different colors of Worsted weight yarn. Red Heart was used for the example in Raspberry and Navy.
Size H aluminum crochet hook.
Yarn Needle

Gauge: 4dc=1"
Yarn Thickness: 4mm
Finished Size: 8"x8"
Skill Level: Easy

Random Quick Tip!

Easy Quilt Binding Holder
When making cotton quilt binding, as you iron it, let the length of it fall into a clean one gallon sized bucket and then when you go to sew it onto your quilt, you can take the whole bucket, to your sewing machine, set it on the floor between your feet, pin the beginning end of your binding to your quilt where you want to start it and while you are sewing it onto your quilt it will easily come up from the bucket as you place and stitch the binding to the quilt.
