The Moroccan Tile Rectangle takes one of my favorite crochet stitch patterns and turns it into a 7” x 9” rectangle, perfect for Warm Up America! Made with Caron Simply Soft , it’s a great way to learn this stitch and do some good - and of course, it’s a free crochet pattern on Moogly!

I’ve crocheted for a variety of charities over the years, and almost all of them want you to use a soft, medium weight, machine washable and dryable acrylic yarn. Wool can be tough on the skin, and acrylic is easy to keep clean - this is especially important when the blankets go to people with medical needs! Caron Simply Soft is the perfect choice.

The pattern includes written instructions and a helpful video tutorial to guide you through the process, making it accessible to crocheters of all skill levels.
