Crochet-Along Week 7

Week Seven is here, and when these are completed we are now halfway done with our squares! Next week we will take a break from squares and start putting the edging on our completed squares and also give you a chance to catch up on any you haven't finished before we move on. If you have missed any weeks of the crochet-along, they can be found here. This week we will be using Color 3. If you have any questions about any of the squares or any of the stitches, comment below or feel free to email blog@marymaxim.com. Have fun with your Week Seven squares!
