Crochet Me, an Interweave site, has a free ebook available for members of their site. The book is called Chain Reaction Afghan Project and includes 20 square patterns from well-known crochet designers such as Drew Emborsky, Edie Eckman, and Lily Chin. The original squares made for this book were assembled by Marcy Smith, and Interweave plans to auction off the completed afghan for charity.

I make a lot of square myself, so I’d love to make something like this some day. The way each square pattern is very different yet they all seem to come together for an overall look is wonderful. Plus with squares, you don’t have to deal with a huge afghan until the end when you put them all together.
