This 6” square block is a fun make for crocheters, featuring some of the items they love best. It could be incorporated into a traditional blanket as a repeated motif or along with other patterned and plain blocks as a sampler blanket. It could also feature in accessories, homewares or garments, either as part of the fabric of the item or as an appliqué on the surface, e.g. a patch pocket. Alternatively it could be stitched onto an item made of fabric, e.g. a bag or jacket.
 
Materials
25m (30yds) each of worsted/aran weight yarn in wool/acrylic/cotton in colours A (yarn), B (ball band) and C (background). I’ve used Drops Paris and Rico Creative Cotton Aran in mine, which are soft, low twist cotton yarns.
2m (2yds) each of sport/DK weight yarn in wool/acrylic/cotton in colours D (hook) and E (text). I’ve used Drops Muskat and Rowan Cotton Glacé in mine, which are smooth mercerised cotton yarns.
4.5mm hook (US 7) or suitable hook to achieve desired texture, usually this is the size suggested on the yarn band for the aran/worsted weight yarn you are using
Yarn needle and scissors
