Square #3: Basic Granny Square in Five Colors

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, scissors

Yarn needed: five colors of medium weight (4) yarn (A, B, C, D, E)

Skills needed: chain, double crochet, slip stitch

Notes: Using the same pattern as yesterday, change colors of yarn at the end of each round.  You'll fasten off at the end of each round, then use a slip stitch to attach a new color each time.  As always, feel free to e-mail me at crochetwithanna@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.  And don't forget to send me pictures of your completed square!
