🧶 Daily Crochet Squares – Day 12

Day 12 Crochet Square Title Image

It’s Day 12 of the 31 Days of Squares series, originally part of my 2023 project “365: A Year of Crochet Squares.” If you're just joining in, you can catch up anytime here: Main Series Page.

I don’t always have a witty intro—some days, the yarn just speaks louder than words. But even without a snappy start, the square of the day is full of texture and personality!

This month's big goal? One blanket and one crochet square per day. Today’s star is a curvy beauty that’s taken over my yarn-loving heart. 💖

🌊 Let’s Do the Wave

Meet the Wave Stitch! This square completely surprised me—I hadn't worked with this stitch before and I’m now fully smitten. 🌀

It’s bouncy, thick, and super satisfying to make. Does it gobble up yarn like a fiber-hungry monster? Absolutely. But it’s worth every loop. If you love a challenge that still feels soothing, give this one a try.

This stitch comes from the Last Dance on the Beach CAL—a project that continues to inspire me with every square.

🧵 Double Check Your Ends

Weave as you go—but don’t forget to double check. Some sneaky little yarn tails like to hide and pop out later. Make sure everything’s tucked, secure, and tidy before calling it done!
