Dot's Square

Dot's Square



Dot’s Square is a combination of the traditional granny square with a solid granny square and is a variation on the original Grannies Square.  The square can be made as small or as large as desired due to repeating rounds.

Notes:

·       Size H/5.00 mm hook (or any size you choose)
·       Ch 3 counts as a dc
·       Lg cluster = 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
·       Sm cluster = 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc
·       In the solid granny rounds (Round 4), dc in the ch 1s instead of the ch 1 spaces for a cleaner edge if desired
·       Rnd 4 is the solid granny round and Rnd 5 is the traditional granny round.



Ch 4 and sl st in first ch to make a loop

Rnd 1: Ch 3, 2 dc into loop, ch 2; *(3 dc, ch 2).  Rpt from * twice and sl st into top of ch 3.  Sl st to ch-2 corner sp.
Rnd 2: Ch 3, 1 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in ch-2 corner sp.; *(dc in next 3 dc, sm cluster in ch-2 corner sp).  Rpt from * twice. Dc in next 3 dc and sl st into top of ch 3.  Sl st to ch-2 corner sp.

Rnds 6 – 9: Repeat Rnd 4
