**Foundation ring.** Work 4 ch and join with a ss to the first ch, forming a ring.

Work 3 ch, then 2 dc in the ring, then 2 more ch; *then 3 dc in the ring and 2 ch. Repeat from * 2 more times. Join the round with a ss to the top of the first chain. Fasten off and optionally change colour.

**Round 2.** Join new yarn in any 2-ch space. Ch 3, work 1 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc in that same space. *1 dc in each of next 3 st, then work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc all in the next 2-ch space.

### Modifications

* To remove the corner gaps, instead of (ch 2) for the corners, use (1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc). tr = triple crochet, formed by wrapping the yarn around the hook twice instead of once (compared to a dc) at the start of the stitch.
* To remove the corner gaps, instead of (ch 2) for the corners, use (1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc). tr = triple crochet, formed in the same way as the double crochet but wrapping the yarn around the hook twice instead of once (compared to a dc) at the start of the stitch, and then pulling yarn through two loops at a time like normal.

* st: stitch (any)

**Foundation chain.** Work approximately 17 ch - adjust the exact number so you have a chain between 12-13 cm long. Ch 2 more.

**Row 1.** 1 dc into the third ch from the hook, *dc into next st, repeat from * to end of row, turn. The length of the work should have grown to around 14-15 cm - if it is significantly over or under, undo the row and adjust the number of stitches in the foundation chain, then try again.

**Row 2.** 2 ch, *dc into next st, repeat from * to end of row, turn.

**Rows 3-end.** Repeat row 2 until the height of the work is 14-15 cm. You can expect to have approximately 9 rows.

**Finishing** Fasten off and weave in ends.

**Modifications**
* Incorporate one or more rows of single crochet or treble crochet to create a slightly different texture. Single crochet is especially useful for getting the square to be the right height.
* Incorporate one or more rows of single crochet to create a slightly different texture. Single crochet is especially useful for getting the square to be the right height.
* Change colour at the end of a row to create a stripe. To create equal-width stripes, change after a consistent and ideally even number of rows (e.g. every 4 rows). This pattern is great for making pride flags and country flags!
* Add an extra design by sewing or embroidering on top of the finished square.
