🧶 Daily Crochet Squares – Day 19

Day 19 Crochet Square - Wavey Texture

🌊 We’re back at it with Day 19 of the 31 Days of Squares series — and this one brings the beachy vibes! It's a ripple-inspired square that gives the illusion of motion in your blanket layout.

Originally featured in the Last Dance on the Beach CAL, this design by Tammy Canavan-Soldaat brings texture and wave-like flow to your project. It’s an especially great option if you love a little movement in your stitchwork.

🌬️ Wavey Wave Wave Square

This one might look complex at first glance, but it works up smoothly and is worth the effort. I can see this square making a gorgeous beach-themed throw blanket — just repeat the motif in rows and you’ll have a seaside stunner.

If you haven’t tackled wave-style stitches before, give this one a whirl. It’s soothing to work and has a beautiful flow when finished.

✂️ Double Check Your Ends

I always try to weave in ends as I go, but there’s no shame in forgetting a few! Now’s a great time to give everything a quick once-over and tidy up any loose tails. Your future self (and your blanket) will thank you.

📸 Did You Crochet This?
