Dizzy 12 Inch Square

Are you looking for a fun crochet project that’s full of color? This Dizzy 12-inch crochet square is a great option for you! 

Grab all your leftover bits of medium-weight yarn because you can use all of them on this project! I used 9 colors in my square but you can use as many or as few as you like for yours. 

Make a bunch of these to use up all your scraps in the most colorful crochet blanket ever, or make a wall hanging, a bag, or anything else you would like. The main thing is to have fun!
