Tip:
When working with transitioning yarn, you can double your color options from a single ball! Simply crochet half of your squares by pulling yarn from the center of the ball, and the other half by pulling from the outside. This reverses the color sequence, giving you a beautiful variety of shades. Since the squares are small, this technique creates a delightful mix of colors in your project!
Make 128 Squares
Start with a ring:
Chain 6, then slip stitch into the first chain to form a small ring.
Round 1:
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
Make 15 more double crochets into the ring.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain. (You should have 16 stitches.)
Round 2:
Chain 4 (this counts as a double crochet + chain 1).
Make 1 double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1.
Repeat around the circle.
Join with a slip stitch to the third chain of the beginning chain.
Round 3 (Forming the square shape):
Slip stitch into the next chain space.
Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), then make 2 more double crochets in the same space.
Chain 1, then make 3 double crochets in the next space. Chain 1.
In the next space, make (3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets) – this creates a corner.
Chain 1, then make 3 double crochets in the next space. Chain 1.
Repeat this pattern around the square, making sure each corner has (3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets).
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first chain 3.
Round 4 (Making the square bigger):
Slip stitch into the next chain space.
Chain 3, then make 2 more double crochets in the same space.
Chain 1, then make 3 double crochets in each chain-1 space.
At each corner, make (3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets).
Continue this pattern around the square.
Finish by joining with a slip stitch to the top of the first chain 3. Fasten off.
Joining the Squares – Zigzag Method
Lay out your squares
Arrange your squares in the pattern you want before joining.
Make sure they are facing the same way.
Start joining:
Place two squares together with the wrong sides touching.
Join yarn in the first corner space (chain-2 space) of the first square.
Chain 1, then make a single crochet in the first corner space of the second square.
Zigzag connection:
Chain 1, skip the next stitch on the first square, and single crochet into the next stitch.
Chain 1, skip the next stitch on the second square, and single crochet into the next stitch.
Repeat this pattern across the entire edge of the squares.
Keep going:
Don’t cut the yarn after joining two squares. Keep going and attach the next squares in the row the same way.
Once you finish all rows in one direction, turn the blanket and repeat the same process for the open edges.
