Knit 1, purl squares with crocheted borders, woven together, with a single crochet border around the whole twice. The outer border alternates two colors. These go pretty quickly and I can carry the supplies for making the squares around wherever I go.
I donate these to charity.

Gorgeous! Has that non-symmetrical feeling of the Gee's Bends Quilt patterns. Love the colors, too.
My baby blanx are on my profile under my photos. They're granny squares in non traditional colors. :-)

Thank you! I used Nashua Creative Focus Superwash yarn on size 7 needles, cast on 43 sts across and did 33 rows height. The squares end up about 5 inches by 5 1/4 inches. Then added two rows of single crochet to each square. Then 25 squares total works out a nice size.

Very interesting! I have quite a bit of Sirdar "Snowflake" yarn left over from knitting matching "polar bear hug" sweaters for four of my grandchildren. I'm sure it would make a beautiful afghan now that I think of it!
What size are the squares?
