Spring Fling Crochet Square Pattern

This is a fun and versatile pattern. What could you use it for? You could simply make a bunch of these babies and join them to make a blanket. Or, you could make this a centerpiece of your blanket and simply continue adding rounds of double crochet until it is your desired size. I even thought about using cotton yarn, adding only 1 more round of double crochet and ending up with a pretty dishcloth.
