PATTERN NOTES

• The pattern starts with creating a magic circle instead of slip knot
• Each round is closed off with a slip stitch and worked on the right side.
• The flower motif is squared off in Rnd 6 with working (1 V st, 2 ch, 1 V st)
• I recommend placing a stitch marker in the corner 2 ch-sp as you work
• The corner 2 ch-sps might sometimes get tricky to find for a beginner crocheter.

SIZE ADJUSTMENTS

• You can make the square bigger by working additional rounds of Double crochet stitch- work 1 dc in each dc around until next corner 2 ch-sp, work (3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc) into each corner 2 ch-sp until you reach desired size of the square
• Granny stitch- work 3 dc between each 3-dc cluster from previous round until next corner 2 ch-sp, work (3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc) into each corner 2 ch-sp until you reach desired size of the square
