Technic : Double filet crochet, Interlocking filet crochet

Type : 40 windows square, Afghan block

Gauge :
5 by 5 windows per 5 cm or 4 by 4 windows per 5 cm.
As long as your windows are square, using a different gauge won’t affect the design, but it will change the finish size and the amount of yarn needed.

Size :
40 by 40 cm
Or 50 by 50 cm

Yarn :
For a 40 by 40 cm square, gauge 5 by 5 windows per 5 cm
To match this gauge I used DK (Weight 3) yarn and a 4.5 mm Hook.
• 170 meters of yarn for each of your two colors, which is a total of 340 meters of yarn.
• 186 yards per colors, a total of 372 yards of yarn

For a 50 by 50 cm square, gauge 4 by 4 windows per 5 cm
To match the gauge I used Aran (Weight 4) yarn and a 4.5 mm Hook.
• 240 meters of yarn for each of your two colors, which is a total of 480 meters of yarn.
• 263 yards per colors, a total of 526 yards of yarn

The pattern contains a graph, Right-Handed and Left-Handed written instructions.

I wanted people to be able to use this square to make a pillow to go with the Puzzle Baby Blanket, this is why I provide two gauge.
Those are two pretty common cushion size, so you should be able to find something that fit.
If you want to make a pillow, just make two square of the same size and attach them together, my favorite joining method is the zipper join but you can use any method you like.

The Main color from this pattern is the contrasting color from the Puzzle Blanket pattern.
