I chose the Cross Hatch Crochet Stitch square for this blanket because I liked the chance to learn about placing stitches in an unusual place. Plus, this stitch is solid without being dense. If you _over_ block the square it could actually be more open and lace like. Totally up to you and the look you are going for with your blanket.

The stitch pattern of this stitch is very similar to the the Corner to Corner (C2C) blankets that are so popular. The difference is that you are creating the fabric vertically instead of on the diagonal as you do when making the C2C. Having said that, if you are familiar with C2C construction and wish to make your square in that manner you totally can do that. This is YOUR blanket
