Pink Crochet Square

PINK CROCHET SQUARE

Rosa Enid Cruz Roque

Hand-crafted crochet square. A crochet motif known as a "solid granny square." Unlike traditional granny squares which have gaps between stitch clusters, this version is solid fabric with holes only at the four corners. The square is made from vibrant, hot pink (or magenta) yarn.

Round 1:

• Ch 3 (counts as your first dc).

• Work 2 dc into the ring.

• Ch 2 (this creates the corner).

• Work 3 dc into the ring, ch 2.

• Repeat from * to * two more times.

• Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3. (You should have 4 groups of 3 dc separated by corner spaces).

Round 2:

• Ch 3 (counts as first dc).

• Dc in each stitch across the side until you reach the corner space.

• In the corner space work: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

• Dc in each stitch to the next corner, then work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the corner space.

• Repeat from * to * around.

• Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.

Round 3 (and all subsequent rounds):

• Ch 3 (counts as first dc).

• Dc in each stitch across to the corner.

• In the corner space work: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

• Continue this pattern around: Dc in every stitch on the sides, and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in every corner.

• Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.

Pattern Notes

• The "Seam": You may notice a slight diagonal line where you join your rounds (the "ch 3" start). To make this less visible, some crocheters prefer to flip the square over after every round and crochet in the opposite direction.

• Corner Variations: If your corners feel too loose or the holes are too big, you can try chaining 1 instead of 2 in the corners.

• Stitch Count: The side count increases by 4 stitches each round (2 added to each end of the side).
