| Basic Granny Square |
| Turning a granny square at the beginning of each round gives it a reversible quality... Ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring. Round 1: Ch 3 (allowing this ch to serve as the first dc in the round). 2 dc in ring, ch 2, 3 dc in ring. *Ch 2, 3 dc in ring*. Repeat between * 1 more time. Ch 2. Join with sl st to top of ch 3 that began the round. Four clusters (of 3 dc each) in ring. Round 2: Ch 3, turn. 2 dc in ch 2 sp between clusters in Round 1. Ch 2, 3 dc in same sp (corner made). *In next ch 2 sp, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc*. Repeat between * 2 more times. Join with sl st to top of ch 3 that began the round. Eight clusters in round. Round 3: Ch 3, turn. 2 dc in sp between clusters. *In next ch 2 (corner) sp, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. 3 dc in next sp between clusters*. Repeat between * 2 more times. In next ch 2 (corner) sp, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. Join with sl st to top of ch 3 that began the round. 12 clusters in round. Round 4 and beyond: Ch 3, turn. 2 dc in sp between clusters. Work as for Round 3 -- 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in each of the four ch 2 (corner) sp, and 3 dc in each sp between clusters along the sides. To change colors, fasten off at the end of a round and leave enough yarn to weave in the end all the way through the ch 2 sp of the next corner. Tie the new yarn on with a double knot in that ch 2 space (and over the end of the last color). The 6 dc worked over the ends of the new colors hide each securely. |
