If you're making the scarf you will need a total of 12 squares, so you will need 1 of each square. If you're making the afghan you will need a total of 48 squares, so you will need 4 of each square. But if some of the squares don't appeal to you, you can substitute that square for another that you do love. The choice is really up to you!
The ninth of our squares is called 'Criss-Cross Square' written by Sari Kumar. You can find the pattern with a picture tutorial here on this page, or you can download a printer friendly version here. Also be sure to check out her blog and Ravelry page to see her other patterns!
