Bennington Blanket Square can be made 6 inches or 8 inches across. The square uses crossed spike stitches as a textural accent. The square could look pretty made in two colors so that the color of the spike stitches is in contrast to the color behind it.

Finished Measurements: 6 or 8 inches square.

Yarn: Cascade Yarns Pacific (60% Acrylic, 40% Superwash Merino; 213 yds; 100 g; yarn weight category 4/medium/worsted): #13 Gold

Or

Cascade Yarns Anthem Worsted (100% Acrylic; 186 yds; 100 g; yarn weight category 4/medium/worsted): #69 Orchid.

Crochet Hook: J (6 mm), or size needed to obtain gauge. I recommend Furls Streamline Resin crochet hooks.
