🧶 Daily Crochet Squares – Day 18

Day 18 Crochet Square Graphic

Welcome back to another cozy crochet adventure! 🧵 Day 18 of 31 Days of Squares brings us another textured beauty—and a quick note about copyright. This series is part of the revamped version of my 2023 series originally shared on annmalonesulsar.com.

Instead of reinventing someone else's hard work, I’m linking directly to the patterns whenever I feature designs by others. It's my way of honoring the incredible designers who inspire me—and probably you too! ❤️

✨ Some Sort of Bobble Stitch Square

This bumpy delight comes from week 11 of Last Dance on the Beach and was designed by Annelies Baes of Vicarno.

I do wish this square had a name—especially because there are so many bobble puns just waiting to be stitched into existence. 🧶 Crochet designers, if you’re reading this: please name your squares! Your future fangirls thank you.

That said, it worked up beautifully and has a wonderful texture that would make a lovely baby blanket or statement piece in a sampler afghan.

🧵 Double Check Your Ends

Just a friendly reminder: weave those tails in before you regret your entire life. Don’t let a rogue yarn end undo your hard work!
