The Even Moss Afghan Square crochet pattern is a beautiful square with a thick squishy texture!
And it is so easy to work! I love the texture in the even moss stitch. It is the same on both sides and although it creates a solid fabric, it still has a little drape that is allowed by the half double crochet stitches. The other stitch that you will find in this stitch pattern is the slip stitch, but don’t let that deter you! As the slip stitches are always alternated with the half double crochet below, they are quite easy to work!

Welcome to week four of the Make it Your Way Crochet Along. Thus far we have completed three different stitch patterns (four in each) for our crochet blanket. I can’t wait to see which stitches you choose! To recap, you’ll find the previous three weeks of stitch options here:
Week One, Option A: Spiked Sedge Stitch Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
Week One, Option B: Suzette Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
Week Two, Option A: Almond Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
Week Two, Option B: Extended Moss Stitch Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
Week Three, Option A: Elizabeth Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
Week Three, Option B: Straight Cables Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
The Materials:
For this crochet along I have encouraged you to use any worsted weight yarn. Each square will measure approximately 10.5-11 inches and you will make four of them in this stitch pattern to complete the blanket. You will need approximately 113 yards of a worsted weight yarn per square for the Even Moss Afghan Square. For those curious, for my blanket I will be using the Vanna’s Choice yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. Along with the yarn you will need a 6 mm (J/10) crochet hook.
PDF Copies:
A PDF of these squares will be available in my Etsy and Ravelry Shops AT THE END of this crochet along. I will post them as two separate blankets, one including the squares for option A and one for Option B. So stay tuned if you are looking for that PDF!
