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
