Let's face the truth! Choosing the right colors for a crochet project can be difficult! Different people have different approaches. You probably have your own, and you're welcome to share it with us in the comments area, but just in case you don't have yet a system that makes you completely happy, and the task of choosing the right colors for your next project, easy, I want to introduce you to Carmen's (of My Crochet Projects) Little Crochet Squares cute and practical idea. The easiest way to select colors for a project ever!

You'll also get the pattern for the cute little square. And here is what I think it could be a great bonus: once you have the pattern for these lovely little granny squares, you can use it to make some really lovely keychains. Just my thought!
Thanks to Carmen for this article inspiration and featured image.

Love it!
I like this idea, may have to use it 🙂
I think i’ll do this
I have wrapped yarn around the embroidery floss bobbins as I have tons of yarn and the granny squares take up more room…. But, I love this idea for maybe doing up samples for a project where you have only a few colors to work with.
This a good ideal….

Nice idea. Sadly, I’m on restriction from buying yarn
Lol.

I save the paper around the yarn and tape a piece of the yarn to it. Then I have the yarn color, the UPC number and Lot number.
What an awesomely great idea!!!! I’m going to do this! !!!!!
Neat idea!
Sounds like a good idea. has very simple diagram for the squares, that looks like good beginners practice for people not used to using charts! I just might give it a try, tho charts with no written instructions usually scare me.
Cute
good idea so i know what I have at home cuz i sometmes bougt too many one color oops i have about 3 balls of black oops
OMG! What a great idea!
I usually save the band from the skein. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to make a small swatch from these colors. I wouldn’t have thought to put them on a keychain for future color selection. That would make it easier to take the keychain to the store.
I never thought of doing this now I will
I never thought of doing this,but now I will. Great post thank you
Great idea.
I agree… great idea.
Sarah Rah Williams…another thing I am going to do!
Make them in the basic red, blue, yellow, green, etc and use them to teach a young child their colors.
To go with your paper swatches?
Yes:)
Great idea
