Square #2: Basic Granny Square with Two Colors

Basic Granny Square in two colors

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle

Yarn needed: two colors of medium weight (4) yarn (A, B)

Skills needed: chain, double crochet, slip stitch

Notes: Using basically the same pattern as yesterday, change colors of yarn at the end of each round, alternating two colors.  You'll fasten off at the end of each round, then use a slip stitch to attach a new color each time instead of chaining 4.

Abbreviations:
ch= chain
dc= double crochet
sl st= slip stitch

Decide which color is A and which is B.
