As part of an ongoing series of Swap-Bot swaps for 5 inch afghan squares, I've been designing a few different granny squares. This variation on a traditional granny square contains a round of triple crochet added in a non-traditional way, giving it a slightly different look.
The example shown was crocheted with worsted weight yarn and a size G hook. Finished size will vary based on yarn selection, hook size, and tension.
