- 1). Most crocheters don't enjoy piecing together squares. To make the job less tedious, make large squares, and as soon as you finish the second square, piece it to the first. In the beginning, do the 20 squares in this pattern. Continue piecing together as you finish each square, and when you finish the last square, your afghan will be finished. Piece the squares together with a color different from what you used for the squares. For added interest, instead of making each piece a perfect square, make them different sizes. But once you finish the first row of squares, you must make the pieces for the subsequent rows the same sizes as the first row. However, you may arrange them in the row any way you want.
