PART FOUR

Spiral Square: (Make Two)

Note: For this square a STITCH MARKER is used to mark the start of each ROUND
CH 2
RND 1: Work [2 SC, 2 HDC, 8 DC] into 2nd CH from hook (12 STS);
FOR RND 2-5 WORK INTO BACK LOOPS ONLY!
RND 2: Work 2 DC into next ST (place STITCH MARKER into 1 ST DC);
work 2 DC into each ST until end (24 STS);
RND 3: Work 2 DC into next ST (place STITCH MARKER into 1 ST DC); work 1 DC into next ST;
*Work 2 DC into next ST, work 1 DC into next ST. Repeat from * until end (36 STS);
RND 4: Work 2 DC into next ST (place STITCH MARKER into 1 ST DC); work 1 DC into next 2 STS;
*Work 2 DC into next ST, work 1 DC into next 2 STS. Repeat from * until end (48 STS);
RND 5: Work 2 DC into next ST (place STITCH MARKER into 1 ST DC); work 1 DC into next 3 STS;
*Work 2 DC into next ST, work 1 DC into next 3 STS. Repeat from * until LAST 4 STS; work 1 DC into next ST; work 1 HDC into same ST; work 1 HDC into next ST, work 1 SC into next 2 STS. (60 STS).
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Surface Chain Stitches:
Insert hook into first front loop of RND 2 – see photo;
yarn over hook; draw through loop; draw though loop on hook
Basic SL ST into each loop until end of spiral – DO NOT FASTEN OFF

Note: Do not SL ST too tightly – if in doubt use a hook size larger – if you crochet too tightly the spiral will make a bubble

CONTINUE AS FOLLOWS:
Note: because of the spiral’s SL ST’s round 6 will be done working into the back-loops only
RND 6: CH 3 (this counts as the 1st DC);
Work 1 DC into next 13 DC; work [3 DC, 2 CH, 3 DC] into next DC;
*Work 1 DC into next 14 DC; work [3 DC, 2 CH, 3 DC] into next DC.
Repeat from  two more times, SL ST into 3rd of starting 3 CH

RND 7: CH 3 (counts as 1 DC); work 1 DC into next 16 DC until 2 CH space;
work [2 DC, 2 CH, 2 DC] into 2 CH space.
*Work 1 DC into next 20 DC until next 2 CH space; work [2 DC, 2 CH, 2 DC] into 2 CH space.
Repeat from * two more times, work 1 DC into last 4 DC, SL ST into 3rd of 3 CH.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

My Squares with my tension and yarn measure approx 6, 5 inch x 6, 5 inch
