Daylily Crochet Square

This crochet blanket square block pattern is another design I created for the Moogly Crochet Along. This square is also perfect for making a pillow, cushion, or bag. The pattern begins at the center and is worked in rounds. For my sample, I used a combination of green and orange, inspired by the beautiful daylily flowers.
