Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Foundation Round
- Make a slip knot on your hook.
- Ch 8, then join to the first ch with a sl st to form a ring.
Step 2: Round 1
- Ch 5 (counts as dc + ch 2).
- Dc into the center of the ring.
- Ch 2, dc into the ring. Repeat until there are 8 dc (including the first dc).
- End the round by joining with a sl st into the 3rd ch of the beginning ch-5.
Step 3: Round 2
- Sl st into the first ch-sp.
- Ch 4 (counts as the first tr), then work 3 tr into the same sp (total 4 tr in one space).
- Ch 3, then work 4 tr into the next ch-sp.
- Ch 7, repeat 4 tr + ch 3 in the next ch-sp.
- Continue the sequence of 4 tr, ch 3, ch 7 in each ch-sp until there are 8 groups of 4 tr.
- Close the round with a sl st in the first ch-4.
Step 4: Joining & Squares
- For assembling squares: Align front sides together and join at every ch-3 sp. Use sl st or sc depending on your preference. Ensure consistent joins for a neat finish.
Sleeves and Edging Details
- For the sleeves, use 3 squares and join at edges.
- For the border edging, work sc evenly across all edges, skipping one st between each sc for a straight appearance.
- Add a second row of dc in each st for structure.
- Leave sleeve openings without additional edging for flexibility.
Measurement Guidelines
- Each square measures 7 cm.
- Arrange 6 squares for the body and 3 on each sleeve for a balanced pattern.
- Leave 39 cm or 6 squares open for the neckline/shoulder section.
Pattern Corrections
- Ensure dc and tr counts match instructions for each round; missing stitches may cause unevenness.
- Misaligned joins may impact square arrangement.
Tip for Success
- Use stitch markers to keep track of complex joins, especially when working on multiple squares.
- Block each square after completion for an even, professional finish.
