Rachel's Heart Puff square crochet instructions and free crochet pattern
There is a featured project on the yarn page: Joann home>knit and crochet>yarn. It is for a crocheted afghan using a striped texture and Red Heart "Fiesta©" yarn. The gauge is 12 stitches to 4"(10 cm), so if you doubled the stitches to 24, it should make a perfect 8 x 8" square. It's lovely too and looks very cosy and warm. We could call it the Joann Square. Joann.com is a huge online store which sells a great range of yarns at good prices by both fibre and weight. There is also a clearance section - good to look for cheap yarn. In addition, they have a vast range of sewing and quilting, scrap booking and home and holiday craft products and ideas.

Please send us photographs if you make up this pattern as I am sure Rachel will love to see the squares, as we will.
