Victorian Romance Square

During my square designing kick, I first made the Native Sun Square which had great texture. It was followed the Mingle Square and the Primrose Square, which are equally as beautiful, but lacking the textures; So I knew I had to make another that just "popped".

Presenting: Victorian Romance Square

The design to this 6" square reminds me of Victorian era decor. Plus the pop stitches look like hearts!

This square would be great for many projects, but I definitely like it for an afghan.

This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn. Here are a few great option (and they're also on sale!): Cascade 220 - 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, Lion Brand Heartland - 100% Acrylic, and Universal Classic Worsted - Wool and Acrylic Blend.
