Step-by-Step Pattern

Granny Square Centers

Make four granny square centers.

1. Begin with a MR.
2. CH 3 (counts as the first DC), then work 2 DC in the ring, and CH 1.
3. Repeat the following three times:
   • 3 DC in the ring.
   • CH 1.
4. Pull the ring tight and SS in the top of the beginning CH 3 to join.
5. Cut your yarn and weave in your ends.
6. Pause here until you have made four of these centers.

Connecting Squares

Start with one square center and attach new yarn in any CH 1 space to begin forming complete squares:

1. CH 3 (counts as DC) in the same CH space, work 2 DC, CH 1, and 3 DC (first corner created).
2. In the next CH 1 space, work 3 DC, CH 1, and repeat for three sides to complete corners.
3. Join with a SS to the top of the CH 3.
4. Repeat the process to connect each of the four centers, joining squares along edges with slip stitches as needed, following the same corner part. Use the invisible join method for a neat finish.

Border Round

After all squares are connected:

1. Attach new yarn in any corner space with a SS.
2. In each stitch across:
3. SC in next 6 stitches.
4. SC in the CH 1 space, CH 1, and SC again in the same CH 1 space.
5. Repeat this pattern for each side, ensuring each corner consists of SC, CH 1, SC.
6. Finish the round by joining with a SS to the first SC.
7. Cut your yarn and weave in all ends.
