What’s not to love about the block stitch? It’s easy, beginner friendly, and the neatly stacked little squares create a clean and modern aesthetic that never goes out of style! Vivid colored stripes make this pillow and throw pattern a perfect accent for family rooms, kids’ rooms, and the back of any sofa that needs a new look! Best of all, it works up so quickly you might complete it in a weekend! While the colors shown here were chosen for a young boy’s bedroom, this pattern is easily customizable and will look great in any color scheme! Let’s get started and together crochet something beautiful.
