My Basic Square...Variegated (Free Pattern)

To begin, let me say that I'm sure this square pattern is out there on the internet.  I've previously had it on my blog listed as the Amanda Square for the Amanda Blanket.  I don't think I've stolen anyone's pattern as I sat down one day and just started crocheting in order to get this square.  If I've stepped on anyone's toes, it's simply because I didn't know it.  That said, if you feel you have a problem with my sharing this pattern as my own, please feel free to contact me.  Now, on to the square.
