Written Instructions:

Chair 8 and slip stitch closed creating a ring.

Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 4 times, chain 3, dc 4 times, chain 3, dc 4 times, chain 3, slip stitch to close off round.

Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), dc into the next 3 dc’s below, 2dc into the chain corner of the round below, then chain 3 and dc again (completing the first corner), finish the round in the same manner as stated previously.

Rounds 3 and 4: Same as round 2, you should seen the square increasing. Up to this point your are basically creating a simple solid granny square.

Round 5: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), dc into the next 7 dc’s below, chain 5, (dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times {this is your corner}), chain 5, skip 2 dc’s in the previous round, dc 12 times into the dc’s of the round below), chain 5, (dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times {this is your corner}), chain 5 and continue till you finish the round.

Rounds 6: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), dc into the next 5 dc’s below, chain 5, slip stitch into middle of chain 5 in previous round, chain 5, (dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times {this is your corner}), chain 5, slip stitch into middle of chain 5 in previous round, chain 5, skip 2 dc’s in the previous round, dc 8 times into the dc’s of the round below), chain 5, (dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times {this is your corner}), and continue till you finish the round.

Round 7: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), dc into the next 3 dc’s below, (chain 5, slip stitch into middle of chain 5 in previous round) two times, chain 5, (dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times {this is your corner}), and continue until you finish the round in this pattern.

Round 8: Looks like you slip stitch into middle of the chain 5 of the previous round before the dc’s (so you take your yarn back a bit if that make sense), then chain 5 and slip stitch into the chain 5 of the round below a few times until you get to your corner which will be worked in the same way as the previous ones.

Round 9: Slip stitch into middle of the chain 5 of the previous round before the dc’s like you did for round 8, dc5 times, then chain 3 and slip stitch closed (picot edge), dc5 times, slip stitch into the middle of the 5 chains from the row below and repeat!
