Wavy Pillowghan Square

This square is a bit different from the normal pillowghan square. It is wavy. If you want it to lie flat, you could use a larger hook. I made it this way just to be different. If you use a soft type of worsted weight yarn, this would produce a very luxurious afghan!

Materials Needed
Worsted Weight acrylic yarn in 2 contrasting colors. I used Red Heart Cream (mc) and Brown (cc).
Size H/6 or 5.00mm aluminum crochet hook or larger.
Yarn Needle

Gauge: 4sc=1"
Yarn Thickness 4mm
Finished Size: 12"x12"
Skill Level: Intermediate

Random Quick Tip!

Coffee Filter Angels
You can make a very cute angel ornament for any occasion such as weddings, Easter, Christmas etc... by using 3 coffee filters. Actually if you use a cotton ball torn in half for the head then you only need to use 2 coffee filters. 1. Scrunch up one coffee filter to make a small ball.2. Place the ball inside the center of the 2nd coffee filter and form a neck just under the ball by pinching the coffee filter around it. Then wrap a piece of plain transparent tape around the neck. Flair out the skirt. 3. Fold the 3rd coffee filter in half then accordion fold it in the center to form the wings. Then glue the wings to the back.
