How can you tell if you need the chain 1, chain 2, or none? You will notice one of three things:
1.) Square will take on a butterfly-like look with the corners pointing out and the insides caving – you will need to add in a chain space;
2.) Square will take on a rounded look with the insides bulging – eliminate chain space.
3.) Square will be nice and crisp – Perfect!
Pattern:
R2: Chain 2, work 2 DC into the same chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1, (3 DC into the next chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1) 3x. Join, slip stitch over.
R3: Chain 2, work 2 DC into the same chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1, (3 DC into the next chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1) 3x. Join, slip stitch over.
*Continue working in the same manner until you have reached your desired size. If you are following this pattern to the end, you square will measure 6″ across.
R4: Chain 2, work 2 DC into the same chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1, (3 DC into the next chain space, chain 3, 3 DC into the same chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1, 3 DC into the next chain space, chain 1) 3x.
