Make one as a coaster, a dozen as a cushion, or all of them as a blanket.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne square, twenty-eight faces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clever thing about this book is that \u003cstrong\u003eevery square shares the same eight-round base\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rounds 1–4 grow a flat circle in half double crochet; rounds 5–8 turn that circle into a square with corner chain spaces — and those four rounds are identical in all twenty-eight. Learn them once and you never learn them again. What changes is the colour, and the appliqués and embroidery that go on top: a cap and a hanger make a bauble, a surface-crocheted line with little appliqué bulbs makes a string of Christmas lights, a brim and a pompom make a hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat also means \u003cstrong\u003eyou can stop wherever you like.\u003c\/strong\u003e One square is an evening.
