Crochet Wednesday Square

7 Day Sampler Afghan Wednesday Square by Jeanne Steinhilber

The Crochet Wednesday Square is the fifth motif in the 7 Day Sampler Afghan Stitch Along. This crochet project can be easily completed in just one week.

The Wednesday Square features popcorn stitches and a wrapped double crochet that reminds me of a bead stitch, but much simpler to do. Of all the motifs in the sampler, this one is my personal favorite.
