0:49
darning needle I work my ends in as I go so I'll be showing you that as well I'll
0:54
be using a worsted weight yarn today and I use a variety of Brands I'm using four
1:00
colors which I have listed here with their brand names I'll also list the yarn in the description below as with
1:05
all my squares you can find the free patterns over on my blog at www. jspc
1:11
create.com along with inspirational picks detailed close-ups and color variations all right let's jump into our
1:19
sand dollar Square tutorial we'll start with our off-white yarn and our magic
1:24
ring lay your yarn across your palm hold it in place with your thumb wrap it
1:30
around two fingers Crossing it over underneath and holding it in place again
1:35
then over three fingers holding it in place with your baby finger under the first Loop over the
1:42
second and pull it through and underneath twist it on the hook reach over to this yarn over the third finger
1:49
hook it and pull it through for your first chain there's your magic ring our first round is going to be all double
1:56
crochets so we want we have a chain one already want to chain three so I need to
2:02
chain two more this first chain three represents our first double crochet I need 11 more
2:09
into this ring so yarn around your hook insert into the ring yarn over and pull
2:16
up a loop three loops on the hook yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull
2:22
through two there's your double crochet we need 12 total
2:49
let's count and see where we are 1 2 3 4
2:54
5 6 7 8 I need four more
3:00
so this one will be 9
3:06
10 11 and oh just about 12 and everything
3:12
falls off the hook so we have 11 and now we go for
3:19
12 now that I have my 12 double crochet in my ring I take this cut piece I place
3:26
my thumb and my finger on the LA bottom of the last Stitch and I pull and it
3:31
cinches it right up just pull gently you don't want to break
3:37
anything and we're going to finish off with an invisible join you can slip stitch it but I'm not using this color
3:44
on the next round so we're going to do an invisible join I take my scissors and cut my yaron
3:49
about 3 to 4 in this is where the darning needle comes into
3:56
play pull your yarn through and get it onto your dar needle now the invisible
4:01
join is going to mimic a stitch right on top of this chain three so we go into
4:07
the first actual double crochet which is the second Stitch under both
4:13
Loops pull this through and then come back where you came out go in
4:20
there and gently pull it up so it looks just like all the other stitches I have
4:26
a much longer tutorial on this on my site I'll link that below but that is your invisible join now to secure it I
4:34
came through and went down into this Stitch I'm going to come back up in the Stitch that I just
4:41
created and then I'm going to go back down into the Stitch behind it and that gives you a little Loop and that secures
4:48
that yarn now I'm going to go into the back Loops only pretty much all the way around my
4:54
circle to darn that end in and then it will be finished okay
5:00
good enough for that one now I want to put this one in as well and get it out of my way so get that one on your needle
5:07
continue around this ring two or three more times so I'm going to go under
5:12
these stitches right here and pull it through and pull it
5:18
up and then just keep doing
5:23
that so I'm around once I'm probably overkilling it here
5:29
but I'm going to go around twice you can turn around and go in the other direction if you want to I tend
5:36
not to so I'm going to clip that one off now and I'm going to clip this one
5:43
off and my Center round one is done ready for round two round number two I'm
5:50
ready to do this red right here so we have our Center off white next round is
5:56
also going to be double crochets and it's going to be two dou crochets in each Stitch around so a simple round
6:03
again we're going to join in any one of these stitches and we're going to do a standing double crochet you could also
6:09
do a chain three but I like a standing double crochet I'm going to wrap the iron twice around the hook and then
6:16
insert into any of the stitches and don't go over this at the back this back piece leave it hanging yarn over and
6:24
pull up a loop and then we go yarn over two and yarn over two and your cut yarn
6:30
is over here right now I'm going to bring it back over to this side at the back that's our first double
6:37
crochet now we're going to work another double crochet into that same space so we go yarn over the hook but I also go
6:44
under the cut end so see how both the cut end and the working yarn are over
6:49
the hook insert into the Stitch and again under the cut end cuz we're
6:56
working it in on the back yarn around and pull up a loop and then complete
7:01
your double crochet now this piece is worked all the way into this Stitch as well so I have two double crochets and
7:09
I'm ready to keep going I'm going to work this into the next Stitch as a double crochet so yarn over the hook but
7:17
I also go under the cut end so I've got both of them over the hook here into the
7:23
next Stitch and under the cut end again yarn over pull up a little Loop
7:30
yarn over pull through the two and yarn over pull through the two now again it's worked into this Stitch so I have it
7:37
worked into this Stitch and this Stitch and now I'll probably leave it just working over top of it so double crochet
7:46
into the same Stitch so what we're working is two double crochets into each Stitch all the
7:54
way around so let's go ahead and work that and I'm just going to work over top of my yarn from here on in if you feel
8:00
you need to secure it even more you can once again let's do it here go under the
8:06
yarn while you wrap it around the hook so the cut ends also over the hook you
8:11
can do this at any point just to give it a little extra security go into the next Stitch and under the cut end at the back
8:18
yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull through two and two so now it's worked
8:24
back up into this Stitch lots of security there now we're just contining
8:29
with our two double crochets per Stitch working over the the cut end at the back
8:37
just holding it at the bottom here some in the middle of it there make sure you go under
8:46
it so let's take a look where we are we have 2 4 6 8 10 I need 24 all together
8:54
so I have a little ways to go so I'll just go quiet here and I will do two double crochets for each of these
9:00
stitches and we'll end up with 24 [Music]
9:14
[Music]
9:27
[Music]
9:36
[Music]
9:53
[Music]
10:02
so here I am at the last Stitch we want to work two into this
10:08
one and we should have 24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
10:18
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 and
10:24
24 there we go now again I'm going to do an invisible join because I'm I'm going
10:29
to be cutting this color and doing another color you could do a slip stitch as well
10:35
I'm just very used to doing these in visable joints so get your yarn onto your darning needle we're going to do it
10:41
the same way you're going to skip over this first Stitch and go under both Loops of the second Stitch pull it
10:49
through come back and go into the Stitch you came out of right into that top part
10:55
right down the center pull it gently and it creates a Stitch over top of this
11:02
first double crochet here and it looks just like all the
11:07
others I come back up through that Stitch and go back down through the one behind it just to give it that extra
11:15
Loop and then I go into the back Loops only for maybe halfway
11:21
around just enough that if it starts to slip out a little it's not going to go very far and I get as many on there as I
11:28
can I just jammed them on there pull it through and then kind of pull it back to
11:34
the proper shape and there you go round number two
11:40
is done and the ends are worked in round number three we're back to our off-white
11:46
so we've done our first two rounds right in the center here and we're doing this little simple round right here in the
11:52
off-white so we grab our off-white color and we want to join in any one of these stitches and we're going to do a
11:58
standing single crochet I do this by holding the Aron at the back of my work
12:03
wrapping it around the hook bringing the hook in through any one of the stitches I've picked and underneath the cut end
12:11
again at the back pull up a loop and then complete your single crochet that's
12:17
joining with a single crochet and it counts as our first single crochet now I want a chain two and I'm going to work
12:23
my yarn in as I go so throw the cut end up across your working yarn and chain
12:28
one bring it back down and chain two now we're not going to miss any stitches so
12:35
we work three single crochets one in each of the next three stitches and I'm
12:42
also working over top of my yarn and I'm not missing any
12:48
stitches so that's two and that's three so we have a chain
12:53
two and three single crochets that's our repeat so we go chain two working our
13:01
yarn in as we go and then three single crochets do not
13:07
miss any stitches
13:13
1 2 and
13:18
three so what you're going to have is 24 single crochets and eight chain two
13:26
spaces no stitches get missed everything gets worked let's do it one more time
13:31
and then I'll let you finish it so we're going to do chain two and I'm just going to finish off working in my
13:39
yarn and then three single crochet working over top at the end of this
13:46
yarn and that's the repeat I'm going to go quiet and you can watch me finish this and I'll meet you back here where
13:52
we'll finish off the round
14:04
[Music]
14:17
[Music]
14:27
[Music]
14:39
now here we are back I just did a chain two that's my eighth one we started with
14:45
a single crochet so we only have two stitches left here to make this section
14:50
of the three so we just work into the next single crochet and the final one and
14:58
that finishes off that round and I'm going to do another invisible join to
15:05
finish this one because I'm not using the white on the next round so put that yarn onto your darning needle and just
15:13
like all the others you're going to go under it's actually under the chain stitch this time CU you're imitating the
15:21
single crochet that you started with back in where you came out and then Loop it around between the
15:28
two Stitch and work it into back Loops
15:36
only to work this end in and pull it through and then pull your piece back
15:43
into shape I'm going to clip this end and there is round
15:50
three round four is the next one and it's done in this nice caramel color
15:56
we've done this section and now we want to do our petals so grab your caramel
16:02
and we'll get ready for round four with the caramel I'm going to join in any one of my chain two
16:08
spaces and I can do a standing double crochet or a chain three so I'm going to
16:14
do a standing double crochet wrapping the yarn twice around my hook holding it
16:19
with my finger to the piece of work I go into the chain two space and I don't go
16:25
under at the cut end that's the trick with the standing double crochet okay yarn over pull up a loop but you still
16:32
have to hold on to it so it doesn't fly away on you now yarn over pull through two and
16:37
yarn over pull through two that's your standing double crochet now we are going to work five of
16:45
them all together into this chain two space so that's our first one working my
16:50
yarn in so I go under the yarn cut end and working yarn insert in and back
16:56
under the cut end pull up a loop Loop and complete the second double
17:02
crochet and then I'm going to do that again so I have three of them here I'm
17:09
going to do another one again working that cut end in so it's up and down and up and down that's pretty good it's
17:14
worked in pretty far so I have four of them here and now I've got the fifth one and I want that cut end up at the top
17:21
here so I'm going to work that cut end into this fifth double crochet bringing
17:26
it up and across the work erand on the last half of it so it's up here by the
17:33
hook now I have five double crochet into this chain two space and I want a single
17:39
crochet into the center of these three single crochets just one so skip over
17:46
the first one and work into the second one and I'm going to work over my cut
17:52
end to do that and then I that's all I'm doing for that and now I'm going to go
17:58
back back that's the repeat I'm going to do five double crochets into the chain two spaces and one single crochet into
18:06
the center of this three set of three so next is the five double crochets so I'm
18:13
going to work this yarn in one more time here putting it over my
18:21
needle so that's my first double crochet and now I'm just going to leave it at the back here and work over top of it
18:28
five double crochets are what I'm looking for so there's
18:34
three four and five and my cut end is finished
18:42
then I want to work a single crochet I'm going to end up cutting that so it's out of my way but I want to work a single crochet
18:49
in the center of this three set so skip over this first one and work into the
18:54
second one right there same single
19:01
crochet next repeat is five double crochet into the chain two
19:08
space so we have
19:14
three four and five five double
19:20
crochet and then a single crochet into the center of this set so skip over that
19:25
first one work into the second one and then you don't work the third one
19:31
you'll skip over that and work another petal so there's your repeat five double
19:36
crochets into the chain two space skip this single crochet work a single
19:41
crochet into the center skip the last single crochet and do your repeat again
19:47
we want to have eight of these petal sections so I will continue to work around and you can watch me and I'll
19:53
meet you back here to finish off this round [Music]
20:07
[Music]
20:20
[Music]
20:29
[Music]
20:46
[Music]
20:56
[Music]
21:01
[Music]
21:17
[Music]
21:31
[Music] now we've come back around and I only have these three single crochets left I
21:38
want to skip the first one work into the second one as a single
21:43
crochet and I'm ready to join my round so this time I'm just going to do a slip
21:49
stitch to join and I want to do it in the top of that first double crochet if
21:55
you chose to do a chain three it would be in the third chain of the that chain three and I'm just going to slip stitch
22:02
it and then cut it off pulling it through and then I'm
22:09
going to work my end in at this point so put it on your darning
22:16
needle I find this so much faster to work the ends in this way it's more satisfying because when you finished a
22:23
square or whatever shape you're working on it's finished you have have all the
22:29
ends darned in so there is no at the end looking at all your squares with all the
22:34
ends hanging out and you think G I have to do that this way they're neat and tidy and
22:41
they're ready to go when you have them all finished so that is the end of round
22:50
four now we have a flower shape it's kind of pretty now looking again at our finished
22:56
square we have the center flower finished and now we want to do these
23:01
white petals around the the caramel ones next round round number five we're going
23:08
to use our off- we now this one I want to join in the top of any one of these
23:14
pedals so we're going to look at these petals and we have five double crochet
23:19
there I want to join in the third one which shows the center one and I'm going
23:25
to join it with a standing single crochet so wrapping the iron around my hook go into the third double crochet of
23:34
this five set so you're right at the top of the petal and complete your single
23:40
crochet and that's where we're joining in this one it's very similar last round
23:46
but there's going to be chain stitches involved so the next thing we want to do is a chain stitch and I'm going to work
23:51
my yarn in so taking my cut end across my working yarn chain one bringing it
23:58
back back down we are now going to work into this single crochet stitch right
24:04
here and I'm going to do five double crochets just like I did here into the chain space but we're going to work five
24:11
of them into this single crochet stitch right here so again working my yarn in I
24:17
go under the cut end and under the working yarn bring it back down and go into the Stitch and under the cut end
24:24
again yarn over and pull up a loop so remember we're doing a double crochet so
24:29
yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two that cut end can be confusing you just pretend it's part of
24:36
one of the strands of yarn there is our first double crochet we need to work four more into the same
24:44
Stitch and you can work your yarn in if you want I find if I work it all into this
24:50
first one then it's done and it's in there nice and
24:56
tight one more time there it's pretty much worked in and I
25:02
just have four double crochets worked I need a fifth one into the same
25:10
Stitch there's our five double crochets now we work a chain
25:16
one and I want to do a single crochet just like I did back here into the third
25:21
double crochet of this set so skipping over the first two double crochets work
25:28
into the third one and work a single crochet and that's your repeat let's do
25:34
it again chain one five double crochets into this
25:40
single crochet stitch so that's
25:45
1 2
25:50
3 4 it's more yarn and five
25:58
five double crochets into that single crochet chain one and now work a single crochet into
26:05
the third double crochet skipping over those first two and work a single
26:11
crochet in the top of the third one so now I have two petals finished
26:17
let's work one more and then you can just watch me finish off this round chain
26:22
one five double crochet into the single crochet stitch
26:29
that's two 3 four and
26:37
five and then chain one and work a single crochet into the third double
26:47
crochet and that's what it looks like I'm going to continue to work that repeat all the way around and we'll
26:53
finish off the round together [Music]
27:06
[Music]
27:19
[Music]
27:28
[Music]
27:45
[Music]
27:54

28:16
[Music]
28:23
[Music]
28:30
[Music]
28:52
[Music]
29:06
so here we are back at the end of this round now make sure you didn't miss any of those chain one spaces they're easy
29:12
to forget about as you go around sometimes I forget them think I got them all there you're ending with a five
29:20
double crochet and a chain one back to that first single crochet we're going to slip stitch right into the top of it
29:28
to complete our round so we will cut our
29:34
yarn pull it through and we'll darn in our end as
29:40
well I do the same loop around the last two stitches just to secure it in
29:48
place and then I work it through the back Loops only for fair piece
30:01
and then I'll clip that
30:06
off I don't have problem with my yarn slipping out I think it could be the yarn that I'm using has got a lot of
30:12
texture to it it's it isn't a textured yarn but it's 100% acrylic and it tends
30:18
to stay in place if you have a slippier yarn you may want to darn it in more than what I'm doing so this completes
30:25
round five let's take a look at our full Square again so we want to work on round
30:30
six and that's in our green this is the first time we're using our green so we
30:35
have our Center Motif done and now we're going to do this rim of green before we
30:42
get into the squaring now where I want to join is in the chain space just to
30:47
the right of one of these five sets so our five double crochet petal set you
30:53
want to go just to the right of it and we're going to join in this chain space right here so we want to join with a
31:01
single crochet so I do a standing single crochet just like I've been doing and that's in our first um chain
31:09
one space you can also join with a slip stitch and chain one and single crochet it just I like my standing single
31:15
crochet it's cleaner now we need to work two more single crochets one in each of the next
31:23
two double crochets so I'm going to work over top of my yarn and we're going to do a single crochet in the next Stitch
31:31
and a single crochet in the next Stitch now we've reached the center
31:37
double crochet of this petal and I'm going to work two single crochets into that so one and
31:46
two now we're going to work our way back down and I'm going to work a single crochet in each of the next two
31:54
stitches and then a single crochet into this chain space right
32:01
here so we're just working around the edge of the shape that we just did now
32:07
we want to chain one and we're going to skip over this
32:13
single crochet right here you're going to work a single crochet into the next chain
32:19
space and that's our repeat working our way back around the next petal single
32:25
crochet in each of the next two stitches then two single crochet in the
32:33
next one which is the center of your petal set and then a single crochet in
32:39
each of the next two stitches single crochet in the chain
32:45
space and chain one so there's your repeat I said this
32:52
was a simple round and it is pretty simple you just have to be working in the right spots
32:58
so the only Stitch that you're going to skip is these single crochets you're going to do a chain stitch over top of
33:03
them you're going to work in each of the chain spaces and each of the stitches of the petals all single crochet
33:11
stitches so we can see here after this chain stitch we worked 1 2 3 four five
33:18
because there's two of them there six 7even and eight so there are eight single crochet stitches in between each
33:26
of these chain spaces you're going to end up with eight chain spaces and eight sets of eight which is 64 single
33:33
crochets it's a lot of single crochets so I'll do another one here and then I will just let you watch me finish this
33:42
round single crochet skipping over this single crochet from the previous round
33:48
single crochet in the chain stitch single crochet in each of the next oops
33:54
two make sure you only grab your yarn single crochet in each of the next two
34:00
double crochets and then single crochet two times into this Center
34:07
Stitch single crochet once into each of the next two
34:13
stitches so each one has a stitch and this one in the center has
34:18
two single crochet in the chain space and chain one so I'm going to continue to work around my octagon and I will
34:26
meet you back at the end to to finish off our round

36:00
so we've worked our way around this last petal single crochet in the chain space
36:07
all we have left is the single crochet we're going to chain one and slip stitch
36:13
in the top of the first single crochet of the round and fasten
36:23
off we're going to work this piece in
36:28
the same way that we've done the
36:44
others snip it off and we have finished the octagon
36:50
shape of our sand dollar now here's where the fun round is this is where we're going to square and we're going to
36:56
do it with our red color so see how we've done this Center piece now we're
37:02
going to do our squaring round and then the last two rounds are just border rounds now there's many places that you
37:09
could start to do corners but I'm going to pick an obvious one and we're going to do right here into this chain space
37:19
right here so work a single crochet into that
37:24
chain space any one of them will do and we're of and running for our squaring round so we want to work a single
37:31
crochet into each of the stitches until we get to the
37:42
corner we're going to work 1 2 3
37:47
four so work four single crochets in addition to the one you worked into the chain space and where you are is the
37:56
first of the two single crochets that worked into the top of the petal so to
38:02
go over that again you started with the single crochet in the chain space and then you worked four single crochets in
38:10
one into each of the next four stitches now we work into our corner so we start
38:16
by going chain one and I'm going to continue to work this end end so I bring it up over the working errand and do a
38:22
chain one and each of the next stitches will be trebles so they're twice around
38:29
the hook very long stitches so at this point I also want to work in the the
38:35
remaining part of this cut end so I'm going to do two wraps with the yarn but
38:40
I'm going to include this cut end and it will only have to go in once because it'll be so wrapped into this Stitch so
38:48
twice around the hook including the cut end into this chain space right here
38:54
you're halfway down the next Edge yarn over and pull up a loop yarn over pull
39:00
through two yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two that's a treble and it's quite a a different
39:06
trouble because we worked our yarn into it but that's all I'm going to do with
39:11
cut end so let's continue on chain one and now we're going to work another
39:17
treble into the same chain space ultimately you're going to have seven trebles into this chain space with chain
39:24
ones in between them let's just take a look at what we're doing again this right here is what we're creating so
39:30
we've done this first treble after the chain space and each
39:36
one of these will have a chain space between it and there's going to be seven of them into this space that's going to
39:43
create our corner so we've done the chain one twice around the hook insert
39:50
into that chain space pull up a loop yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two and yarn
39:59
over pull through two that's our second treble so now we have a chain one a
40:05
trouble a chain one and a trouble again a chain one and another treble so twice
40:11
around the hook and complete your treble chain one
40:18
we have three trebles do another treble remember you're going for seven all together make sure you have enough yarn
40:25
loose because The Trebles you don't want them too tight so make sure you've got nice flow
40:32
of yarn chain one another
40:38
treble chain one and another treble now how many trebles are we up to
40:44
here 1 2 3 4 5 6 I need one more treble
40:50
chain one always the chain ones in between them and one more treble that's
40:56
a lot of treble into this space but it creates our
41:02
corner now chain one to finish off that corner part and we're going to work across our next edge with single
41:10
crochets you want to skip over one 2 3 and four single crochets so you're
41:18
skipping over four of them and going into the fifth one and it is the second
41:24
single crochet of the two of the set of two so you want to go into that one it's
41:30
the fifth one from the chain space now you want to work into the next
41:36
three single crochets one 2 and three so that creates four
41:43
single crochets and then you want to go into the chain space and that's a single
41:49
crochet as well so that's the center of our edge
41:54
here we're working it into the corner and here we're just working a single crochet into it cuz we only want four of
42:00
these Corners single crochet in each of the next four
42:06
stitches 1 2 3 and four now we've worked across our
42:14
straight edge and we're going to work on another corner so make sure you got lots of yarn going here cuz our Corners use
42:22
up a lot of yarn chain one to start then treble so
42:28
wrapping the iron twice around the hook insert into that chain space all the way down here halfway across the next
42:35
Edge and complete your treble chain
42:42
one and another treble and chain one and another
42:52
treble so now we've got three chain one we need four more of them so keep going
42:59
trebles with chain ones in between them until you get seven trebles into that
43:16
corner let's see what we've got here 1 2
43:21
3 4 5 6 and seven there I've got all seven of them in there now I want want a
43:27
chain one and we're going to work across our next edge of single crochets so you want
43:33
to go into the fifth one from the chain Space 1 2 3 4 five single crochet into
43:42
that Stitch and then crochet into the next three single crochet one per stitch
43:50
for the next three now you've reached the chain space single crochet in the
43:55
chain space and then single crochet in each of the next four
44:12
stitches this will give you nine single crochets across this Edge chain one and
44:18
we're on to our next Corner seven trebles into this chain
44:23
space with chain ones in between them e
45:03
let's count 1 2 3 4 five six I need one more make sure that you got the chain
45:09
space there there's seven and a chain one now
45:15
we're going to work across this Edge so into the fifth single crochet so 1 2 3 4
45:22
into this fifth one skipping over four of them and then single crochet in each
45:28
of the next three after that you've come across the chain space
45:34
work into that and then single crochet in each of the next
45:42
four and there you have your nine single crochet across this
45:48
Edge now we're working our final Corner chain one and seven treble and
45:57
seven chain spaces
46:27
let's count them 1 2 3 4 five and six chain one and I need one
46:35
more that's seven and a chain one skip over the four stitches 1 2 3 4
46:42
working into the fifth one work a single crochet single crochet in each of the
46:48
next three and we started by working in this
46:53
chain space so we're back to the beginning so you can do a slip stitch or you can do an invisible
47:00
join I'm going to do an invisible
47:07
join taking my yarn skipping over that first Stitch and going into the second one pull it
47:13
through and then go back in where you came out so it looks just like all the
47:19
other stitches do your little Loop to secure it up one and down the one behind it and
47:26
then work into the back Loops
47:34
only go as far as your needle will take you even around the
47:41
corner then pull it through pull your piece back into
47:47
shape clip off your
47:52
end and there you have your Corners so there's round number seven and you can see we have squared off our
47:59
sand dollar it's a little wonky at certain places and that's why I like to
48:05
add extra border rounds so let's pull in the finished one here see how our border
48:11
rounds give it a nice squared up Edge that's what we're going for with the next two rounds and they're very simple
48:18
rounds so let's find an easy place to join I'm going to join right in this
48:24
last space before this long Edge right here so let's take our off-white color
48:32
and work a single crochet standing single crochet into this last chain
48:37
space before the straight edge and now we want to chain one and
48:44
I'm going to work my yarn in as I go so you'll find me taking the cut end above
48:49
the working yarn and then back down again now here is solid single crochets
48:55
and we want to do single crochet chain one so we want to skip over that first Stitch and work into the second one and
49:03
I'm going to work over my yarn so single crochet then I want to chain one so take
49:09
my yarn up over the working yarn and chain one and bring it back down and
49:16
work it into skipping over the next Stitch working into the next
49:23
Stitch take my cut end up chain one bring the cut end down skip a stitch and
49:30
work into the next Stitch keep on doing that yarn up working it in chain
49:40
one skip the next Stitch and work into the next Stitch chain
49:47
one and we're at the last Stitch so you're going to skip that last Stitch and you're going to work into this chain
49:53
space continuing to work my yarn in
49:59
so you can see here we have single crochets and chain ones it tends to pull
50:06
in this Edge but it works in the overall picture because your Corners are flared
50:12
out slightly so it makes everything pull in so let's take another look here at
50:18
what it does you can see here that it just works with the overall Edge so
50:23
sometimes when you're working something it seems like it's pulling in but if something something else is flared out it tends to balance as long as it's not
50:30
over too far of a space it tends to balance out now we're going to work our way around the corner so the next Stitch
50:37
we want is a chain one and then single crochet in the chain
50:42
space so these ones are obvious you only want to work in the chain spaces always
50:47
having a chain one in between and I'm continuing I'm almost at the end of working my yarn in here so we want to
50:54
work in each of the chain spaces till we get to the corner corner so we have this chain space worked into then a second
51:01
one a third one and I want to do one more and now this Center treble is going
51:09
to be our corner I'm going to chain three over the fourth treble then we
51:15
continue to work single crochet into the next chain space and chain one so that
51:21
chain three creates the corner of the square so it gives it a more defined
51:27
corner so turning and working down the next Edge we want to do our we did our single
51:34
crochet at the edge of our corner here chain one single crochet in the next
51:39
chain one space and chain one do that again and one more
51:46
time so from that corner single crochet we have chain one single crochet three
51:53
times then we chain one now we're working back across our single crochet
51:58
Edge and we only want to work into every second single crochet so skipping over
52:03
the first single crochet work into the second one always having that chain space in
52:09
between then chain one skip the next one and single crochet in the next chain one
52:16
skip the next one single crochet in the next chain one continue one more
52:25
time and then we're back to the chain space over here so across this Center single crochet we only have four single
52:32
crochets and then we have chain spaces in between them single crochet in the next chain
52:40
space before this big corner and we're going to do what we did
52:45
here so we'll just keep working all the way around here you can stick with me chain one single crochet in the next
52:52
chain space and chain one then you're going to do that again always following with a chain one and
53:00
again follow with a chain one you have four single crochets in four chain
53:06
spaces we're at the center treble so we want to work a chain three
53:12
so we did a chain one there two and three I have a black cat and a gray cat
53:17
and they love to sleep on my yarn so it shows up here a lot so we've done our chain three now we want to work a single
53:24
crochet in the next chain space which is the other side of that Center treble and we're back and running with
53:32
our chain On's single crochet in chain spaces until we
53:38
get to this chain space before the single crochet batch chain
53:43
one so now you have four of them on this side as well four of them here and four
53:49
of them here with a chain three in the middle and chain ones in between working across the next batch of single croch
53:56
crochets we did our chain one skip our first Stitch single crochet in the next
54:02
one chain one skip the next one and single crochet in the next one chain one
54:10
do that again skipping single crochet chain one and then skip single crochet
54:17
and chain one now we're back to the chain space again single crochet in that
54:22
next chain space and chain one working toward towards our Corner single crochet
54:28
in the next one chain one single crochet in the next one chain one and one more
54:35
single crochet and we're actually going to be doing a chain three next cuz now we have
54:40
the four so chain three for our next
54:47
Corner single crochet in the next chain space working across this batch chain
54:53
one single crochet in the next chain space you're going to hear me say that a lot
54:59
chain one single crochet in the next chain space chain one and single crochet
55:05
in this last chain space chain one working across the single crochets
55:10
there's nine of them here we have our chain one skip the first one and single crochet in the next one chain one
55:18
continue to do that until you get to the other Edge you'll have four single crochets
55:28
skipping that last one we work into this chain space chain one working our way up to
55:34
the corner again we're going to have four single crochets with chain ones in
55:42
between and then we're going to do chain three skipping over that Center treble
55:51
single crochet in the next chain space and we're on the home stretch
55:57
chain one single crochet in the next chain space repeat chain one and we've come back to
56:05
the beginning of our round so we've done all our single crochets you end with a chain one and you're going to slip
56:10
stitch in that first single crochet of the round and then cut your
56:17
yarn and pull it through I'm going to trim off the yarn that I did there I'm going to work in my
56:24
yarn that I did here same as I always do go
56:30
down and then come back up so you do a little I call it a loopy loop and then back Loops
56:39
only go all the way across the top if you want there you
56:47
go and trim it and we're ready to do our final round
56:53
so at this point we have our Square paired off sand dollar and we have our border round that makes it a little
57:00
better of an edge I like to add at least one more border round just to fully
57:06
Square it out let's take a look here this green is the one we're going to do next it's a really simple round and it
57:12
just gives it that nice finished squared look what I love about these border rounds is you can pick any color it it's
57:20
almost like uh the accessory like what do you want to finish off your square with so I'm going to pick green for this
57:26
one and I'm going to join in a corner cuz to me the corners are the most obvious places to join and I'm going to
57:32
join in this chain Three Corner with a standing single
57:38
crochet and then chain one and I'm going to work my yarn in as I go so this back
57:43
this end is going to go up and down across the working yarn as I work single crochet in the next chain
57:50
space and then chain one and that is what you're going to do all the way
57:55
around except at the corners you're just going to do single crochet chain ones I do this border a
58:02
lot on my squares so I'm it's if you're familiar with my squares then you've seen this border a
58:11
lot let's work our way all the way across this Edge and I'm working my yarn in as I go see I'm up across the working
58:19
yarn chain one back down and working into the next Stitch I have uh tutorials
58:25
just on on that alone as well if you want to see that a lot
58:30
slower and a lot clearer so I'm only working into the single crochet chain spaces and I'm
58:38
making sure there's a chain one in between each Stitch I'm going to stop at this corner and we're going to take a
58:44
look here is our first row and it is all
58:50
single crochet chain ones in every single chain one space so you're not
58:56
working any stitches you're only working in the chain spaces I have uh from this
59:01
corner 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 single
59:08
crochets and I'm going to work a single crochet into the next chain three space
59:14
so that makes 13 single crochets per Edge and then your chain spaces you'll
59:20
have 12 of those now we're going to round the corner and again I'm going to work a chain three
59:27
1 2 3 and I'm going to go into the same
59:32
chain three space so I like the chain threes they give a nice crisp corner you could do a
59:38
chain two as well depends on how loose or tight you crochet and now we're going to work our
59:44
way across the next Edge in the exact same way only working in the chain
59:50
spaces with a chain space in between each single crochet so I'm going to go quiet and finish this round and you can
59:57
just watch me it's a fairly simple round and it might be easier just to watch me do it
