The Pattern

01Granny Square
Ch 4
Rnd 1: Working in the 4th ch from the hook dc 2, ch 1.
For this technique, the 3 chains you made before starting the Rnd count as a double crochet. This, the 2 dcs you made after, and the ch 1, count as what we’ll call a cluster.
1 Cluster = [dc 3, ch 1]
Rnd 1 (cont'd): Make a 2nd cluster [dc 3, ch 1] in the hole (aka 4th ch from the hook).
Rnd 1 (cont'd): Make a 3rd cluster [dc 3, ch 1] in the hole.
Rnd 1 (cont'd): Make a 4th cluster [dc 3, ch 1] in the hole.
Rnd 1 (cont'd): To finish Rnd 1, sl.st into the top chain from the first st in the first cluster you made, to join the Rnd.
If you didn’t know, a slip stitch is simply going into the next st, yarning over, and pulling through all the loops on the hook.
Cut the tail in the back
Rnd 2: Ch 3 (counts as a dc), working into the ch 1 space from the previous Rnd, dc 2 and ch 1 to make our first cluster
Rnd 2 (cont'd): Skip the cluster below and crochet 2 clusters in the next ch 1 spot to make a corner
Rnd 2 (cont'd): Continue around making 2 clusters in each corner. When you get to the last corner, work a cluster into the space and join with a sl.st in the top ch you made at the beginning of the Rnd.
Rnds 3+: Start Rnd 3 like you did for Rnd 2,
Ch 3 (counts as a dc), working into the ch 1 space from the previous Rnd, dc 2 and ch 1 to make our first cluster.
Rnds 3+ (cont'd):Make a cluster in each empty ch 1 spot below and 2 clusters in each corner all the way around.
Rnds 3+ (cont'd): Join Rnd 3 the same as you did for Rnd 2, by sl.st into the top ch.
You can continue the pattern over and over again to make it as big as you’d like, but I’ll stop here.
When you get to a size you like, cut the yarn and pull through after the joining sl.st.
Hide the yarn using a hidden end like we did for the coaster (see Chapter 10 for full instructions).
