Happy coffee, people!
Hmm… is that a good or bad way to start a blog post? I mean, coffee is a greeting I would never turn away. Ha!
Anyway, here we are, on the 4th square of 2019’s TSAP. Are you having fun so far? I know I am. The funnest part for me is trying to come up with new designs that look different but still close enough to the others that they work as a lapghan. This month’s square is kinda like my Rain Cloud square from last year – because April showers? Get it? I’m a bit of a goodball, that’s for sure. It makes sense in my head. Also, spilled coffee is nothing to cry over but it is a huge bummer, which reminds me of overcast days.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, I hope you like this square. It’s a bit weird, I know, but I’m always trying to mix in the weird. You know me. 😀

Materials
- US H (5.00 mm) crochet hook
- Aran/ medium/ size #4 weight yarn
- 1 oz. / 50 yards
- At least 3 colors
- I used Caron One Pound
- Yarn needle

- 16 rows x 15 scs = 4”
Terms/ Stitches used
- RS: right side
- Ch: chain

Notes
- This pattern is worked flat back and forth in rows, with a turn at the beginning/end of the row, from the bottom up.
- This square measures about 7.5″ unblocked and will come out with 8″ with a sc border (explained below). The photos do not feature a border.
- The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
- Every stitch in this pattern is a single crochet. The directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many scs to make.
- Your square may need some light blocking.
- You will need to know how to create a slipknot on your hook for this pattern.
- In the example, the inactive yarn is carried behind the active. If this is confusing, you might want to check out the helpful Moogly video on tapestry.
- Color A is off-white (Caron One Pound in Off-White), color B is brown (Caron One Pound in Espresso), and color C is green (Caron One Pound in Spring Green).
