Agnes Square

" 8″ cluster stitch granny square, the Agnes Square. This pattern has a cluster stitch granny square at the center and added texture from crocheting in the back and third loops. What’s a cluster stitch, you ask? It’s basically a bobble that is flattened because there are spaces on the side of it. I’ve linked a video tutorial if you’re new to cluster stitches. The Textures and Tassels Blanket is a mystery crochet along for a throw-sized blanket worked in a combination of motifs and rows. Borders are crocheted in the round and the blanket is finished off with tassels. "
