This pattern is free, but I encourage you to donate to Black Lives Matter (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019) and other causes that support black people locally or nationally.

DESCRIPTION
A simple response to the continuing unjust treatment of people of color. I matched the Black Lives Matter font on their social media graphics in support of them.

This square comes out to ~12” by 12” with an added border. Tapestry crochet techniques are used throughout - Two Little Birds Patterns has a very helpful video on these techniques here if you don’t know how to “yarn under” or “carry-through” then check it out!
MATERIALS
Worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors (Weight: 4/medium) - ~100 yards in main color, ~40 yards in contrasting color
Size H (5 mm) Crochet Hook
