I designed this Kay Square for one of my yarn retreats in 2018. It is named after my friend and tester Kay Crone, and is sister to the Emma Square.

It is a fairly quick crochet square, and adding an extra round of dc will make it equivalent in final-round stitch count to most standard 12″ squares (gauge dependent).

I’ve included Materials/Size suggestions for three versions:
