My zig zag square incorporates a well known, easy stitch, so this pattern is perfect for beginners!

There are notes in the pattern that you can use to find out how many squares to create to make the size blanket you wish to create! Baby to King size included. My finished square measured 6.5 inches across and 8 inches from corner to corner.

If you want a smaller square, consider going to a G hook with Caron Simply Soft. That may get you as small as 6 inches.

If you want a larger square, consider going to an J hook to reach an 8 inch square or you can move to Red Heart Super Saver or Caron Super Saver and stay with the H hook.
