Free Pattern: WeaveSquareNovember 7, 2013 Heres what I was making fromthis post! Did you guess right?

I thought Id share with you a square I have made! I got the idea from a picture I found online. I couldnt find a pattern so created my own! I hope you like it :)

Skill Level:Easy to intermediate. The pattern is basic double crochet and half-treble crochet, but putting it together is a bit more complicated. Ive explained each step as clearly as possible though, and included lots of photos to helpFinishedDimensions:44 inches, but it can be easily adjusted. If you need help with this just ask!Yarn:I used a mix of brands in DK. It can be any yarn, but remember it will change the dimensions if it is a different weightHook Size:3.5mmOther Materials:ScissorsDarning NeedleTension:Unless you are after a specific sized square tension is not necessary. If you do need it to be specific, each strip should measure 91 cm eachStitch Key:This pattern is in UK terms; for the American terms please see tips belowhtr Half trebledc Double crochetTips: I find weaving in the ends as you go along really helps. That way all you have to do at the end is weave the last end in. The way I do it is I crochet over the first loose end made, then sew in the one at the end of each strip. None of my strips had loose ends once I started connecting them, making things much easier and neater. The coloured strips are only fastened down at the ends. American term conversion: htr in UK is hdc in US; dc in UK is sc in USMaking the stripsYou need to make5 white, 2 orange, 2medium yellow, 1 light yellow, or any colour combination!Row 1: ch 18.htr in the 3rd chain from hook, htr along (16 sts) Fasten off and weave in ends. Repeat until you have the right amount of strips.

Putting the square togetherRow 2: Join in with white on a white strip as if you were about to do another row of htr. dc 1. Then pick up one of the dark strips. Place it vertically at the back of the white strip and dc in the next 2 sts, making sure you go through both strips. dc in the next st on the white strip. Repeat this process with all of the coloured strips, overlapping and under-lapping alternately, with a dc between each one. Use the picture for guidance. End with a dc.

Row 3: ch 1, 2 dc down the end of the white strip youve been working on, then ch 1. Pick up the next white strip and dc twice along the short edge, then ch 1. repeat with the rest of the white strips. Make sure you dont dc through the edge of the coloured strip here, only crochet the white ones. The coloured strips only get dc along the short ends. You dont need to worry about the placement of the coloured strips until you do the next side, so dont worry about them for now.

Row 4: This is where you start needing to make sure the strips are in the right place, but the weaving is not super important other than for guidance until you get to the white strips again. The main thing to remember is if it under-laps at the top then it does at the bottom too. Starting with the dark colour, overlap and under-lap in the right place, again using the picture for guidance. Then ch 1 and dc along in the same way as round 2.

Row 5: Now you need to make sure the colours are weaved properly. All the coloured strips are fastened down so you will only be able to move the white strips. Once thats done: *ch 1, dc in next 2 sts of the short end of the white strip* repeat along, making sure the strips are weaved correctly for the final time, ending with a ch 1Row 6:starting with 2dc in the next st (the corner), dc around the whole square, making sure you do 2 dc in the rest of the corners too Fasten off, weave in the final yarn end, and youre done!

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial! If you have any questions feel free to ask me, and if you send me photos of your finished squares Ill post them here!

Can you guess what its going to be?
