The Feathers Crochet Afghan Square worked in a grey yarn

As mentioned, this is week five of the crochet along.  There are eight previous afghan square patterns which will remain forever free here on my website.  To recap the previous week’s afghan square patterns, you’ll find the previous eight 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

Week Four, Option A: Even Moss Afghan Square Crochet Pattern

Week Four, Option B: Diagonal 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.  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 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.  Please note that the hook size is different from the other blanket squares in this crochet along! I have opted to use a 5 mm in order to make the stitches tighter so that it is closer in size to the other squares.

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!

NOTE: When working your edging along the top and bottom of the square you will have 35 sts instead of 34.  This means that at some point as you work across these edges, you will need to skip a stitch in order to make the 34.
