The Maxine Square is a floral, mandala-style square, with the same center design as the Maxine Afghan.

The Maxine Square pattern comes with an additional square pattern that can be used as a Cushion Back and instructions for joining 2 squares together to make a cushion. If you’d rather not make a cushion, the squares would also be wonderful for making blankets, bags, or whatever else you’d like!

This Written Pattern Includes:

• The Prelude (beginning pages) - This includes important notes, yarn & color placement information, a color placement worksheet, starting & standing stitch instructions, special stitch & technique instructions, and more.
• Detailed instructions and lots helpful images all throughout the pattern.
• A Print-Friendly Version (which doesn’t have any photos).
• Pattern Support - Via my Facebook group or email.

The pattern does not have a video tutorial; however, you can find a video of the first 8 rounds of the Maxine Square in my Facebook group to help get you started.

Size:
My finished squares measure 12.5 inches across, and my finished cushion measures approximately 14.5 inches across using a 14-inch pillow insert.

Depending on your tension, yours may come out bigger or smaller, even if you use the stated yarn and hook size. To adjust the blanket’s size, you can change your tension, yarn weight, and/or hook size.

Difficulty: This pattern is rated as Intermediate/Advanced Intermediate. However, it is written with many helpful tips, tutorials, and photos to help you throughout.
