Here’s another great new 6″ Granny Square design! I just love granny squares and I knew I needed to make a few of my own.

In case you missed it, yesterday I shared the Native Sun Square.

The Mingle Square measures 6″ when using an H hook. This square would be great for shawls or lacy afghans! It’s a simple, yet fun square; the dcs mingle nicely with clusters!

Hi I really like this pattern but I seem to not find your definition of cluster stitch. I wonder if we are to search for this stitch on the web.
Hi Cynthia!
A cluster stitch is 2-4 double crochets worked into the same stitch and joined at the top.

Do you have a tutorial for this?
Hi La Verne!
I do not have a tutorial for this at this time.
