Marshmint Holiday Graphghan Pattern Instructions

Forming a Box

Ch 5, dc in the third ch from the hook, dc 1 in the next two chs (3 dc + 1 ch2 sp)

Forming the Pattern

Repeat the steps to create the next box.

At the end of the second box, turn and sl st into the ch2 sp.

Ch 2, dc 3 in the same ch2 sp.

Continue adding boxes in this method throughout the pattern (I find that it helps to print out the image pattern and cross off boxes as you go).

When you come to the end of the middle (the ends of the first two sides), sl st and ch 2, DO NOT dc.

Turn, sl st into the ch2 sp of the last box of the previous row, continue making boxes across.

At the end of each row, repeat the ch2 sl st to create the remaining sides of the square.

Border

Using Color B, sc around twice, end off.

Using Color B and Color C together, sc around twice, end off.

Peppermint Accents

Make a magic circle, ch 1, hdc 6 into the circle, sl st in the top of the first st, end off, sew into boxes indicated in the pattern by O.

Make 12.
