How to Join the Afghan Squares
After you've crocheted enough squares to create your afghan, you'll want to connect the squares. My favorite method: whip stitch. There are other ways to joining crocheted squares together as well.
More Ideas
Your crocheted squares could also be used to make cushions or other projects if you prefer. If you use baby yarns, you could create a baby blanket. I used one square made of cotton to create a diagonal striped potholder. There are many different possibilities.
