Cathedral Window free 12″ square crochet pattern

Free 12″ square crochet pattern
Cathedral Window Square

This fun free 12″ square crochet pattern can be made in a variety of color combinations.  It is reminiscent of a cathedral window and the colors used can accent that look if you choose.  This square also looks great when made in a single color.  The Cathedral Window 12″ crochet square is an easy pattern to work up and would look great in an afghan.
