I’m introducing the Felicita Square, the twenty-seventh of 30 free patterns for 8″ squares in the 2026 Granny Square Month Crochet Along.
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you) if you make a purchase using these links. Yarn for the sample was generously provided by Herrschners.
I used the same three jumbo skeins of Herrschners Worsted 8 Wildflowers yarn (from left to right, in Wildflowers, Bluet, and Dandelion) as I did for the rest of the squares I designed for this CAL for the Felicita Square. I love how the colors come together!
