  Step 1

  Make a magic ring, and secure with a stitch.

• 

  Step 2

  Chain 2, then work 2 double crochets into the ring.

• 

  Step 3

  Chain 2, then work 3 double crochets into the ring.

• 

  Step 4

  Repeat step 3 two more times, then chain 2.

• 

  Step 5

  Close the ring by pulling on the tail, and close the round by slip stitching in the top chain of your beginning chain 2.

• 

  Step 6

  Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the next two stitches.

• 

  Step 7

  The chain 2 spaces of the previous round make up the corners of your square. Into the chain 2 space: work 2 double crochet, chain 2, work another 2 double crochet. This creates the next corner.

• 

  Step 8

  Work a double crochet into each double crochet from the previous round, and work 2 double crochet, chain 2, 2 double crochet into each corner space. Slip stitch in the top chain of your beginning chain 3.

• 

  Step 9

  Chain 3. Work a double crochet into each double crochet from the previous round, and work 2 double crochet, chain 2, 2 double crochet into each corner space. Slip stitch in the top chain of your beginning chain 3.

• 

  Step 10

  Chain 2. Work a double crochet into each double crochet from the previous round, and work 2 double crochet, chain 2, 2 double crochet into each corner space. Don’t join with a slip stitch. Instead, cut the yarn and pull the tail through the loop on your hook.

• 

  Step 11

  Grab your needle and thread the tail. Put it through both loops of the first double crochet you made this round, skipping the chain 2.

• 

  Step 12

  Put the needle through the back loop of the last stitch you made. This creates a ‘faux stitch’, giving your square a neat finish.

• 

  Step 13

  While you have your needle out, sew in both ends of your square. And that’s it, you’re finished! :)

  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, right? These squares are super versatile; you can use them to make anything from bags to scarves, and from afghans to pencil cases. The sky is the limit :)
