A colourful crochet square that uses overlay crochet to add texture.

Bring vibrant color and dimension to your crochet projects with this crochet overlay square pattern. Designed for intermediate crocheters, this square uses layered stitch techniques to create texture and visual interest. By combining a range of stitches—from double crochet (US single crochet) to triple treble (US double treble)—you’ll achieve a bold, dynamic design that pops.

Perfect for creative makers, this crochet overlay square can be used individually or joined with others to make larger projects like blankets, cushion covers, or bags. Its versatility allows you to mix and match colors, experiment with textures, and create something truly unique.

Concise and detailed, the PDF pattern has written, photo and chart instructions.
