This pattern also teaches how to make your own plaid design, and how to extend your design to make whatever size item you want (without sewing).

There is a special ‘sample’ chart with the pattern for you to crochet to get your gauge. Because you are carrying 2 strands (crocheting with a third) your standard single crochet does not work.

Although I used Holiday colors the type of yarn doesn’t matter. Simply pick 3 colors of the same brand and size of yarn you love, and a hook that works good with it.

For a square you will use less than an ounce of each color.
