Granny Square Pattern

Starting the Granny Square:

• Chain 4 and join to form a loop.

Row 1:

• Chain 3 (counts as your first Double crochet), then work 2 more Double crochets into the ring. This forms your first 3 Double crochet cluster.
• Chain 2 (this is your first corner), then make another cluster of 3 Double crochets into the same ring. Repeat this three more times to complete the first round.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial Chain-3.

Row 2:

• Turn your work.
• Chain 3 (counts as your first Double crochet), then work 2 more Double crochets into the same corner space.
• Chain 2 (corner), then make another cluster of 3 Double crochets into the same corner.
• Chain 1, skip the next shell, and make a cluster of 3 Double crochets into the next corner space.
• Repeat the corner pattern (cluster, Chain 2, cluster) around the square.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial Chain-3.

Row 3 - ... :

• Turn work.
• Chain 3, 2 Double crochet, Chain 1, 3 Double crochet in next space
• Continue Chain 1 and 3 Double crochet until you reach a corner space and 3 Double crochet, 2 Chain, 3 Double crochet
• Repeat the last two steps until the row is complete and slip stitch to the top of the initial Chain-3.
• Repeat this entire step until the granny square is large enough, then fasten off.
