More Details About the Serenity Square Pattern
To start the Serenity Square, you will need just a few simple tools: a 6.00 mm (J) crochet hook (or size to obtain gauge), your chosen #4 yarn in your favorite colors, and a pair of scissors. I used yarn that I already had on hand, Loops & Threads Impeccable in White and Knit Picks Brava Worsted Weight in Tranquil but you can use any similar weighted yarn for your square.
This advanced beginner pattern is perfect for those looking to create a beautiful and unique piece of crochet work. With just 9 rows to complete each Serenity Square, you’ll be amazed at how quickly this pattern comes together.
Each square is like a blank canvas, waiting to be adorned with your choice of colors. As you progress through the Serenity Square pattern, don’t hesitate to experiment with different colors to create a truly personalized piece or stick to a single color for a more minimalist look.
Remember, the joy is not only in the final product but also in the process itself. Happy crocheting!
