✨ Written Pattern
Round 1:
Begin with a magic ring. Make three chain stitches (this counts as your first double crochet), then make fourteen double crochet stitches into the ring. Join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet stitch to close the round.
Round 2:
Make five chain stitches, then one single crochet stitch. Make five chain stitches again, then work one half double crochet stitch, one double crochet stitch, and one treble crochet stitch. Skip two stitches, then make one slip stitch into the third stitch. Repeat this process five times in total around the circle. Finish off and cut the yarn.
Round 3:
Change to the second color. Work in the back loops only for this round. In the first stitch, make one half double crochet stitch, then one double crochet stitch, then two extended double crochet stitches, two treble crochet stitches together, one extended double crochet stitch, one double crochet stitch, and one half double crochet stitch. Repeat this sequence five times around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to finish the round.
Round 4:
Chain four stitches. In the next section, make one half double crochet, one double crochet, one extended double crochet, one treble crochet, one chain stitch, one treble crochet, one extended double crochet, one double crochet, and one half double crochet, finishing with one chain stitch. Repeat this pattern five times to form the square shape. Join with a slip stitch to close the round.
Round 5:
Change to the first color again. Chain one stitch, then make one single crochet, two chain stitches, and one more single crochet in the same stitch to form a corner. Repeat this around the four corners of the square. Join with a slip stitch to complete your Star Crochet Square. Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
