April Diamond Square Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

April Diamond Six Inch Afghan Square Crochet Pattern
For The Month of April I have designed a
 Clear Crystal 6 inch square for you.
 Some say the Birthstone for April is the Diamond.

























I designed the Square with both A 
Crystal and Diamond in mind.
I hope you love what I have designed, I know I do.
