🧵 Close-Up Charm – The Texture Details

The square is tight, clean-edged, and smooth — no holes like traditional grannies, which makes it ideal for baby items. Each round builds beautifully into a soft, cuddly square. I love using neutral tones for a modern look or rainbows for a playful twist 🌈

📌 Materials You’ll Need

Simple tools for a cozy result:

• Worsted weight yarn (any soft baby-safe yarn)
• 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Optional: stitch markers for round tracking

🪡 Techniques Used – Don’t Worry, It’s Easy!

This pattern uses the basics — perfect for relaxing and repeating:

• Magic Ring – for a seamless center
• Double Crochet (dc) – smooth and comfy texture
• Chain Stitch – clean round corners
• Slip Stitch – to close rounds neatly

🎨 Creative Styling & Use Ideas

Make one large square as a baby blanket, or join multiple to build a full-size throw. These also work beautifully as placemats, chair pads, or even minimal coasters if you stop after a few rounds. Add pom-poms, edging, or keep it modern and clean 🧸

✨ Hand Trendy Pro Tips
