The fun thing with squares is you can use any yarn in any hook size and still make something beautiful and something useful.

Helena square
Approx 7 ½“

Squares are so much fun! You can put them together to make a bag. You can put them together to make a scarf. You can put them together to make baby blankets or an Afghan. You can use cotton and make washcloths and dishcloths. You can use them as stitch samplers and make special Afghans. Your imagination is your limit! Have fun.

Stitches You need to know
SC
HDC
DC
HDC in back and third loop=Crochet in back and third loop (insert your hook into back loop, tilt your work toward you and you will see a smaller half bar/loop underneath. Insert your hook into that stitch as well. This gives your stitch a little bit more stability than using back loop only.)
Crocheting in the legs of a stitch= sometimes, crocheting into the normal stitch, we’ll leave an extra large gap. To crochet into the legs of the stitch, crochet into the V that is under the stitch itself instead of the normal top front and back part of the stitch.
