Square #16: On the Diag Square

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Special Stitches

Double Crochet Two Together- (dc2tog): Leave last loop of both double crochets on hook, yarn over, and work off all three loops at once.

This pattern also calls for starting with the Magic Ring.  There will be some from here on out that do, but unless I tell you otherwise, they won’t be affected if instead you just ch 4 and join with a sl st like we’ve been doing.  However, Magic Ring if you can, and if you can’t and want to learn, this is a great tutorial: http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2013/09/demystifying-the-magic-ring/

Notes:  Uh guys, this one was kind of a disaster for me.  Check out this embarrassing first attempt:   

But I bounced back and my second attempt only has that one weird corner.  So I consider that a win! The joke is that the pattern specifically says it should be easy.  Oops.  I can’t even tell you really what went wrong.  Just follow along very specifically and check your work against the pictures in the pattern at each stage.  And worse case scenario, you’ll have a nice bowl.
