10 Super Cool Free Afghan Square Patterns

There always seems to be so many new beautiful granny squares being designed. So this week for Free Crochet Pattern Friday I decided to search for some super cool free afghan square patterns.

I love how some of the newer afghan square designs that have been popping up online lately are using techniques like overlay crochet to create texture and interest.

Don’t get me wrong, I love traditional granny squares too but sometimes it can be refreshing to discover an afghan block design that goes beyond basic stitches; to become a unique piece that no one else has ever made before.

Here are some of my favorite super cool free afghan square patterns.
