The 2015 Moogly Afghan Crochet Along is coming along swimmingly, and in each new square post I've included a link to alternative squares, in case you didn't care for the latest pick. But that list has become a bit outdated... so it's time for a new one! Here are 10 free crochet afghan square patterns - use them as alternatives in the CAL, or just plain use them to make something pretty!
At the time of posting, all of these are listed as free - but the designers can change their minds! So if you see something you love, download, print, or crochet it now! There are several newer designers on here - I'm so excited to be sharing their designs for the first time!

If I just add these squares to my library in Ravelry (without downloading now), does that mean that I have them? If I click on my library so six months from now, are they still free?
Thanks.
