This crocheted afghan square features a pine tree design.
I crocheted two different colorways of this square, both using Caron's Simply Soft, which is a worsted weight acrylic yarn. Feel free to experiment with other yarn weights, colors, or brands if you like.
Pictured at left: Since some of you enjoy creating Christmas projects, I've designed this pattern to be versatile enough that you could crochet it in Christmas colors -- or not -- if you wish. If you're interested in crocheting an afghan with a Christmas theme, this design could be crocheted in red, pine green and gold, as shown (or any color combination you think would be nice.) The official color names for these yarns are "Autumn Red," "Dark Sage," and "Autumn Maize."
Pictured at right: This square is crocheted in "Blue Mint," "Sage" and "Bone," a color scheme which is repeated throughout all the squares I've created for an afghan I've been working on. My afghan is intended for year-around use and does not specifically have a seasonal theme.
This design is part of a series of mix and match afghan squares which are all designed to be the same size, shape and gauge when crocheted using the same yarns.

Projects You Can Make Using These Squares:
I've crocheted bunches of these squares. So far I've made a Christmas afghan and Christmas pillow with them, alternating them with the checkerboard square from the same series. Other ideas: This design would lend itself well to making a Christmas shopping bag or tote bag. If you crochet the squares using cotton thread or yarn, you could use them for making potholders, table runners, coasters and placemats. There are plenty of other ways you could use the pattern as well; let your creativity inspire you!
