Basic Granny, 7 inches

BASIC GRANNY 2

Granny Square

Comments: The basic granny square , in the "large", or sampler, size, 7 inches ; I like it more with a sc border (like all other my squares), but the classic pattern does not provide for it.

Size : 18 cm = 7 inches

Material : Worsted Weight Yarn, colors A=violet, B=pink, C=white , Hook no.4 (US=G/6)

Stitches :ch, sl st, sc, dc

Difficulty: easy

Directions

Start with A, 6 ch , join in first ch.

1. *4 dc in lp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join B in initial st

2. *(4 dc, 3 ch, 4 dc) = corner in next sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join C in initial st

3. *4 dc in next sp, 2 ch, corner in corner sp, 2 ch* ; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join A in initial st

4. *(4 dc in next sp, 2 ch) twice, corner in corner sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join B in initial st

5. *(4 dc in next sp, 2 ch) 3 times, corner in corner sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times ; join thread in initial st. Cut, weave in ends

N.B.

Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
