Written Instructions for C2C Square

Row 1: CH 6, DC in 4th ch from hook, DC in next 2 chs. Turn.

Row 2 (increase row): CH 6, DC in 4th ch from hook, DC in next 2 chs, SL ST into ch-3 space from beginning of row 1, CH 3, 3 DC in same ch-3 space. Turn.

Row 3 (increase row): CH 6, DC in 4th ch from hook, DC in next 2 chs, SL ST into next ch-3 space, CH 3, 3 DC in same ch-3 space, SL ST into next ch-3 space, CH 3, 3 DC in same ch-3 space. Turn.

Row 4 (decrease row): SL ST in first 3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC in first ch-3 space, SL ST in next ch-3 space, CH 3, 3 DC in next ch-3 space, SL ST in next ch-3 space. Turn.

Row 5 (decrease row): SL ST in first 3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC in first ch-3 space, SL ST in next ch-3 space.

To finish off, I like to turn my work and SL ST in the last 3 DC to the corner before fastening off my yarn. It’s not necessary, but I like the way it looks.
