I’m so excited to be able to bring you guys the Shiloh Afghan Square using bulky weight yarn you probably have in your stash already! This pattern is so much fun to crochet, it starts with a circle, and soon enough, into a beautiful square.
I used Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Thick & Quick to crochet my version of the Shiloh Afghan Square using 3 main colours! Oatmeal, Blossom, and Succulent. Don’t those names remind you of Spring? I’m totally ready for the nice weather around here. You can find the yarn here >> LBY Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
There are a few different ways to enjoy the Shiloh Afghan Square:

For the Sunhat, you only need 1 ball of each colour, a little bit goes a long way!
I love working with Lion Brand, so if you have some of their yarn in your stash, take a peek at these great patterns:
