There was a lot of yarn leftover from the African Flower afghan, so I am trying to use up some of that pink. I had a pound of minty color for the background and some leftovers from the aqua lace cardigan, so those are getting used up also. My goal is to not buy any more yarn but to just use what there is. So far, so good. I'm thinking it will probably end up as a small baby blanket, 5 squares across and 7 squares down.
It's interesting and much better to crochet the squares together as you go along, but this requires a layout plan before you start. I'm doing diagonal rows of color. I found the flat braid method of crocheting them together online:

It's nice to have a crochet project in the works to pick up when you are tired of sewing a sweater together. The yoke cardigan is mostly finished except for sewing in the ends and sewing on the buttons. That was a really interesting knit.
