Hi Guys, I thought for today’s square we could do a stitch sampler square. I really enjoy this stitch, the texture is great and it looks so pretty when made into mug cosy’s!

Let’s get crocheting!

Materials:

• Aran weight yarn in various colours – I used stylecraft aran in fondant and spice.
• 4.5mm hook
• Embroidery or Darning needle ( for weaving in ends )

Skills used/required:

• Double crochet (dc)
• Foundation double crochet
• Spike double crochet (Sdc) – also called spike diagonal crochet
• Half treble crochet (htc, optional)

Gauge:

Final square = 12cm

Row 0: Foundation dc 18 stitches.

Row 1: *Dc in the first 3 stitches, sk st, work 1 sdc into the same place that the first dc of the 3dc was worked. Repeat from * three more times. Finish off with a dc into the last two stitches. (18 stitches total)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, *dc in the first 3 stitches, sk st, work 1 sdc into the same place that the first dc of the 3dc was worked. Repeat from * three more times. Finish off with a dc into the last two stitches. (18 stitches total)

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you reach the desired height.

We finished off this square with a htc border to make up the square to 12cm.
