Quickest Knitted Square Patterns For Beginners

Calling all newbie yarnies! There is so much pressure on you when you first start to get everything right, so we’re here to make a whole lot more fun with 11 Free Knitted Square Patterns For Beginners.

These distinctive squares are going to help you work on a project that is just for you and also learn the basics of crochet, too!

Since an afghan square is one of the simplest designs that you can work on, this is perfect for those who are truly new to working with a crochet hook.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the process of learning, though! When you are hunting for a way to make sure that you are always ready to get to work, a free-knit square pattern is perfect!

Beginners, take a careful look through all of these options. You can go as classic as it gets with just a simple two-toned square.

You can enjoy a patterned square or one with images created with different stitching. You can enjoy linework that way, too.

Want to go really bold? Try the one with the “Hug me later” written on it! 

There’s no end of possibility for these and it’s also going to help you create a few different versions of a blanket that you can literally make piece by piece.

It’s perfect for those that want to see their progress in noticeable chunks!

These also make great dishcloths or cleaning cloths if you feel like you want to put practical use to them. Want to show them off a bit more? Maybe use one as a doily or even a small trivet for a plate or a mug.
