Tips for Beginners:

• Practice your chains and double crochets before starting the square.
• Don’t worry about being perfect; crochet is a forgiving craft.
• If you’re having trouble with the corners, remember it’s always 3dc, ch2, 3dc in the corner space.
• If you want a tighter fabric you can replace the Double crochet with Single Crochet.
• You can change colors on any round to create colorful squares.

Enjoy your crocheting!
