The Third Square

Here is the third square i ever made (yay!) it was a long time ago...

i used WW yarn and an aluminum size H hook (US), which makes a 6 inch square. awesome.



Special stitches are-




2dc cluster: work as for normal dc until you have the last 2 loops on the hook, and instead of pulling yarn thru to finish, make another dc in the same spot, pulling yarn thru all loops on hook at the end of that dc.




cluster: work as for 2dc cluster, except instead of pulling yarn thru after the second dc thingie, just make one more and pull yarn thru all loops on hook at end of the 3rd dc.




V stitch: work (dc, ch1, dc) in stitch indicated.


Shell: work 3 dc in stitch indicated.

Instructions: ch4, join with sl st to form ring.




Rnd 1) ch3, work 2dc cluster in ring. work 3dc cluster in ring, ch2. (make TWO 3dc clusters in ring, ch2) 3 times, ending with ch2. join with sl st to top of beginning cluster.

Rnd 2) ch3 to count as 1st dc, dc in same sp. 2dc in next sp, (3dc cluster, ch3, 3dc cluster) in next ch2 sp. *2dc in each of next 2 sts, (3dc cluster, ch3, 3dc cluster) in next ch2 sp*. rep from *to* around, join with sl st to top of beginning ch3.

Rnd 3) ch4 to count as dc+ch1, dc in same sp. sk 2 sts, V st in next st, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in corner ch2 sp. *sk 1 st, V st in next, sk 2 sts, V st in next st, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in corner ch2 sp*. rep from * to * around, join with sl st to 3rd ch of beginning ch4.

Rnd 4) sl st into ch1 sp of 1st V st. ch1, sc in same sp. ch2, sc in ch1 sp of next V st. ch2, sc in center dc of 3dc shell, *ch2, sc in ch2 corner sp. ch2, sc in same sp, ch2, sc in center dc of 3dc shell. (ch2, sc in ch1 sp of next V st) twwice. ch2, sc in center dc of 3dc shell* . rep from * to * around, join with sl st to 1st sc.

Rnd 5) ch1, sc in same sp as joining, sc in next ch2 sp. (sc in next sc, sc in next ch2 sp) twice. 5sc in corner sp, *sc in next ch2 sp, (sc in next sc, sc in next ch2 sp) four times. 5sc in corner sp*. rep from * to * ending with sc in next ch2 sp, sc in next sc, sc in ch2 sp. join with sl st to 1st sc.

Rnd 6) ch3 to count as 1st dc, 2dc in same st as joining. sk 2 sts, V st in next st. sk 2 sts, shell in next st. sk 1 st, *(3dc, ch2, 3dc) in center of 5sc corner. (sk 2 sts, V st in next. sk 2 sts, shell in next) twice. sk 1 st*. (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in center of 5sc corner, rep from * to * ending with sk 2 sts, V st in next, sk 2 sts. join with sl st to top of beginning ch3.

Rnd 7) ch1, sc in same st as joining and in each st around, putting 5sc in corner spaces. join with sl st to 1st sc. Fasten off.
