Pattern Overview
This crochet pattern involves creating a square with a repetitive stitch pattern that gives an impressive, complex look, but is easy to memorize and execute.
Square Size
The red square measures 6.25 x 6.25 inches.
The green square measures 6 x 6 inches.
Size variation is due to a change in the pattern from chain fives to chain fours for a tighter finish.
Pattern Steps
Round 1:
Make 16 double crochets (dc) within a magic ring.
Alternatively, chain 5 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
The first chain 3 counts as your first double crochet.
Round 2 (Creating Cables):
Start with a single crochet (sc) in the first stitch.
Chain 5, skip 2 stitches, and single crochet in the third stitch.
Work 5 single crochets around the chain space.
Continue by turning the work, creating a new cable, and securing it with a single crochet in the skipped stitch.
Repeat this process around, ending up with 8 cables in total.
Round 3:
Begin with a single crochet, chain 5. Secure the chain with a single crochet behind the next cable.
Repeat this around, ensuring you have eight chain-5 spaces.
Round 4:
Fill each chain-5 space with 5 double crochets.
You should have a total of 40 double crochets at the end of this round.
Round 5:
Essentially, repeat Round 2 but adjust by initiating the first cable in front of the squares for a seamless look, continuing the pattern across.
Round 6:
Similar to Round 3, continue working chain five spaces, securing behind cables, with a small adjustment in the final part to prepare for corner creation.
Squaring Off
Start squaring off by working treble crochets (tr), double crochets (dc), and half double crochets (hdc) to straighten the edges and create corners.
For corners, work 7 treble crochets in each corner space.
Between corners, follow this pattern:
- Three double crochets in the next chain space,
- Then three half double crochets for slight dips,
- Repeating the sequence for all sides.
Final Round:
Finish with a round of single crochets, placing three single crochets in each corner to maintain the shape.
Work 18 single crochets along each side between the corner spaces.
Tips for Adjustments
For a tighter square, replace chain fives with chain fours.
Consider using a smaller hook size for less gappy fabric.
