July 4th Flag Blanket Square Crochet Pattern

July 4th is the holiday that celebrates our nation (if you’re in the US), so it was only natural for me to add a flag square to the mix.

This c2c (corner to corner) blanket square is part of the Holiday Celebrations Blanket. If you don’t live in the USA, or would like to replace it with a different square, there are bonus squares you can make in it’s place.

The Holiday Celebrations Blanket is 12 monthly squares – one to celebrate each of the 12 months. Some will be holiday squares, some will celebrate other things such as the seasons. At the end of the year you’ll have a finished blanket!

If you’d like all the squares ahead of time and not wait for each month’s release, the bundle is available below.

HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS BLANKET

The Holiday Celebrations Blanket will be 12 months of patterns – one releasing each month, plus 7 bonuses if you’d like to swap one out for something else.

You will have the option to purchase the bundle at a discount so you can make them at your own pace and not have to worry about coming back each month for the new pattern of the month. (All 18 patterns are currently in the bundle.)

WHY HOLIDAY SQUARES?

My 15 year old daughter wanted to crochet one of my c2c squares that I had designed. That led into an entire conversation of her asking if she could make “a bunch of squares” for me and make them into a blanket for herself. Why, yes you can!

So we talked for a while and came up with a plan for a whole blanket circling around the holidays and what we celebrate each month.

Let’s show June some love! Choose your own colors or work it in the colors we used.

If you’d like to see all the squares from the blanket, you can see the Holiday Celebrations Blanket HERE.
