This is the fourth square I have designed for my Ocean Afghan! I hope you are enjoying the squares!

You can find the Granny Square pattern as well as all the details to make the Ocean Afghan here.

I won’t delay with any more words. Here’s the quick pattern for this little guy!

PIN IT TO YOUR CROCHET BOARD ON PINTEREST.

Materials
Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice worsted weight yarn in sky blue
G hook
6mm safety eye (can be substituted by making a french knot with black yarn)
Tapestry needle and scissors for fastening off
Amazon Picks:



**These safety eyes are the cheapest I have found.  You can also find them in your craft store for about $3 for 10 pieces. For about $6, you get 100 pieces – which is a win for me! I ordered these on Amazon twice and never had a problem with them – always got them in two days (with Amazon Prime – you can sign up for a free trial here->  Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial)! I also used these in my Woodland Afghan and they are holding up great.
Notes: 
SC increase: 2 SC in same stitch
