Square #13: Nana Square

Yarn needed: 1 color medium weight (4) yarn

Skills needed: chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet

Pattern: http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/2011/05/nana-square-tutorial.html

Notes:  This pattern is in UK crochet terms!  Basically that means that you need to adjust everything down.  (i.e. a dc becomes a sc) I went ahead and transcribed below.  Please note that in order to make the square larger, I did Round 2 three times.

Abbreviations:

ch= chain

sc= single crochet

dc= double crochet

sl st= slip stitch

sp = space

Ch 5.  Join with a sl st to form a circle.

Round 1: Ch 3. 3 dc into circle.  Ch 1.  4 dc into circle.  Ch 1. 4 dc into circle.  Ch 1. 4 dc into circle.  Ch 1. Join to third ch at beginning of round with sl st.

Round 2: Ch 3. 1 dc in top of next 3 dc.  * 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc into corner ch 1 sp. 1 dc (each) in top of next 4 dc.* Repeat from * to * to last ch 1 corner sp.  2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc into corner ch 1 sp. Join with a sl st to third ch at beginning of round.

Repeat Round 2 twice.

Round 5: Ch 1. 1 sc into this same stitch. 1 sc into each and all dc.  2 sc, ch 1, 2 sc in every ch 1 corner space to end. Join with a sl st to first sc.
