August Peridot Crochet Square Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 August Peridot Crochet Square

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

August's birthstone is peridot, 

which is a bright lime green.

**********************************

"The primary birthstone for August is Peridot,

 a green gemstone that can range in color from 

yellowish-green to deep olive green."

I designed This month's Square using yarn from

 Red Heart Super Saver, Lime Green and Cream

Both are medium (4) weight acrylic yarns.

What is the This Crochet ALong

 All About? 

FYI: Each month there is a crochet Granny Square

 that is inspired by the Birthstone of each month.

There is a written pattern with pictures, 

and a Brand New Video Tutorial.

Make at least 2 squares for each month.

When we finish all 12 squares we will be joining

 them into a blanket,

 but you can make whatever you would like.

 A Bag, A Scarf, a Hat, or Whatever.
