Wavy Pillowghan Square

This square is a bit different from the normal pillowghan square. It is wavy. If you want it to lie flat, you could use a larger hook. I made it this way just to be different. If you use a soft type of worsted weight yarn, this would produce a very luxurious afghan!

Materials Needed
Worsted Weight acrylic yarn in 2 contrasting colors. I used Red Heart Cream (mc) and Brown (cc).
Size H/6 or 5.00mm aluminum crochet hook or larger.
Yarn Needle

Gauge: 4sc=1"
Yarn Thickness 4mm
Finished Size: 12"x12"
Skill Level: Intermediate

Random Quick Tip!

Fix Kid's Clothes
If your kid's clothes have holes, one way to be able to wear them still is to applique cute cutout shape onto the hole and put a liner on the back side of the fabric. You can get the shapes by using cookie cutters as a template. Then just use the satin stitch on your sewing machine to applique the patch on. If the hole is in a place where the machine cannot reach, you can use a fusible web product to fuse the patch onto the fabric then use a hand satin stitch to cover the edges. Or you can use a fabric paint to cover the edges.
