Materials:

I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in two or more colors. For this 8 inch square, I used just a few yards of yarn for each round of the square. For exact colors, see below section for “Order of Colors As Pictured” for color names and order of colors.
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Sizing:

8 inches wide
8 inches tall

To easily and quickly make this square bigger, you can repeat round 9 as many times as you need, then add on the last two single crochet rounds to nicely frame it all in!

Try working the same colors in a different order for a slightly different effect. You can also slightly vary the color from round to round for a more ombre effect, or make each round high contrast for a bolder look!

Instructions:

Ch 4, then join in the ch furthest from the hook with a slip stitch to create a ring.

Round 1: ch 3 (counts as a dc), then work 7 dc into the center of the ring.

Round 2: ch 3, then work a dc into the first stitch. Next, work 2 dc into the next stitch and in each stitch around. Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 3: Tie a new color into the back loop of any stitch, then ch 4 as if to bpdc (work that first chain around the post as if you were working a bpdc, then continue with the other chains ). Work a (bpdc, ch 1) in each st. Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 4: Tie a new color into the back loop of any fpdc stitch, then ch 4 (working that first chain around the post as if you were working a fpdc). Work a (fpdc, ch 1) in each st. Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 5: Tie a new color into any ch 1 space, then ch 4 (counts as a dc) *Work (a fpdc into the fpdc from previous round, chain 1, then a dc into the ch 1 space). Repeat from * around until the last fpdc, then work (fpdc into fpdc from previous round, ch 1). Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 6: Tie a new color into the back loop of any fpdc stitch, then ch 4 (working that first chain around the post as if you were working a fpdc) *Work 2 dc in the ch 1 space, a bpdc into the next stitch, then a fpdc into the fpdc from the previous round. Repeat from * around. Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 7: Tie a new color into the back loop of any fpdc stitch, then ch 4 (working that first chain around the post as if you were working a fpdc) *work a dc in each of the next two stitches, skip over the bpdc from the previous round, then a fpdc into the fpdc from the previous round, then ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 8: Tie a new color into any ch 1 space, then chain 3. Work (2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1) into the same ch 1 space. This creates the first corner of the square. *Work (3 dc, ch 1) into each of the next three ch 1 spaces. Work (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1) into the next ch 1 space to create the next corner of the square. Repeat from * around, then join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 9: Tie a new color into any ch 1 space, then chain 3. Work (2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1) into the same space. This creates the first corner of the square. *Work (3 dc, ch 1) into each of the next four ch 1 spaces. Work (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1) into the next ch 1 space to create the next corner of the square. Repeat from * around, then join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 10: Tie a new color into any corner space. Ch 1, then work (1 sc, ch 2, 2 sc) into the same corner space. *Work a sc in each stitch and space across. Work (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc) into the corner space. Repeat from * across, then join to close the round with a slip stitch.

Repeat round 10.

Weave in any ends that remain and block your square if needed/desired.
