Granny Square Series #2 - Club Shape

 This is my 2nd granny square. It looks a bit like a "Club" shape but in actual fact, it was suppose to be the top part of a heart shape joint together. It will be part of my tote bag, the the next post. I used 8 ply cotton yarn and a 4 mm hook to make this pattern. 


The tutorial video : 



Club Pattern

1) Start with a magic ring. Chain 2, do 13 double crochet (dc) into the ring. Join to the 1st stitch with a slip stitch.

2) Skip 1, do 8 treble crochet (tc) into the next stitch. 

3) Do dc in the next 2 stitches. Do 8 tc in the next stitch.

4) Skip 1, slip stitch in the next. Skip 1. Do 8 tc in the next stitch.

5) Do dc in the next 2 stitches. Do 8 tc in the next. Skip 1 and slip stitch in the next. 

Cut yarn.


Granny Square Pattern 1

1) Refer to tutorial video and see where I add marker to mark the 4 corners of the granny square before I start. Start with the marker that is nearest to the slip stitch of the club part (on the left). Start on the 2 stitch before the marker. Start with a dc, do a (dc, tc) - in the same next stitch. 

2) Chain 3 and now we have reach the marker. Remove the marker and do (tc, dc) - in the same stitch, dc in the next, hdc in the next, dc in the next 3, hdc in the next, dc in the next, (dc, tc) - in the same next stitch. 

3) Chain 3 and remove marker. (Tc, dc) - in the same stitch, dc in the next, hdc in the next, dc in the next, tc in the next dc in the next, hdc in the next, dc in the next, (dc, tc) - in the same next stitch.

4) Repeat 2)

5) Repeat 3) except that the last dc and (dc, tc) we had already did in the start. 

6) There will be 11 stitches before the chain 3 in every sides. Row 2, do dc in every stitch and at each corner (the chain 3 space) do 2 dc into the space area, chain 2 and 2 dc in the space area.
