I love that they have a good amount of beautiful colors to choose from.
Earlier I’ve also used this yarn for the Cold Day Hat & Cold Day Cowl.

THE PERFECT HOME DECOR CROCHET PROJECT
The Clover Leaf Granny Square Pillow is a fun crochet project for your home.
All the small granny squares have tiny holes in them, but I solved that when I decided to use a pillow cover over the pillow, before adding my own crocheted pillow.
Those tiny holes makes an interesting look & I thought it was well worth it to use them in a pillow design.
TIP! You can swap the Leaf Clover Granny Square for the Classic Granny Square on this crochet pattern!

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
