The Pixie Dust Square crochet pattern works up quickly. The square is part of the You’ve Got Options Crochet Along! Make several of this square to make a blanket or use it for other projects. As some of you may already know I enjoy making gorgeous squares and sewing them into blankets and other crochet items. So why not kick this year off right by making some more squares. I think it is becoming a yearly tradition. What do you think? I am offering the Pixie Dust Square as a free crochet pattern for you. You will also be able to get the ad free PDF for free today only.

The Yarn

For this project I chose to use Red Heart With Love Metallic. This yarn is a worsted weight medium #4 yarn. It is your typical #4 yarn with a little sparkle to it. It is one of the things I like most about it. I enjoy working with Red Heart With Love and I LOVE to add sparkle to my projects.
