Check out this post to learn the flat slip stitch join, one of my favorite methods for joining crochet squares.
These 16 inch pillow inserts would work well for making a pillow out of 9 squares joined together for the front.
The back could be made of another 9 squares, or could be crocheted as one large square with some other crochet stitch pattern.

This little square pattern is actually a new variation on an older pattern of mine. My Peacock Feather Blanket Square was designed several years ago. This free peacock feather crochet pattern can be found here.
I also recently released an Easter egg variation of this same pattern in bright spring colors! This free Easter crochet pattern can be found here.
Materials needed
To make this crochet avocado blanket square, you’ll need worsted weight yarn in two shades of green and white. I used Cascade Yarns Anthem Worsted, a soft acrylic yarn that you can purchase through your local yarn shop.
You’ll also need a size K crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks are the Streamline resin hooks from Furl’s Crochet.
Lastly, you’ll need a tapestry needle.
