Materials:

•  2.5 – 3 oz worsted/ medium weight (size 4) yarn- I used Vanna’s Choice
  • I used 2 colors but you could definitely just do this in one color
• US I (5.50 mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle

Gauge:

• 4” x 4”  = 14 dcs x 7 rows

Terms/ stitches used:

• RS: Right side
• St: stitch
• Ch: chain
• Slip st: slip st
• Sc: single crochet
• Spike sc: spike single crochet
• Hdc: half double crochet

Notes:

• This pattern is created in the round with a slip st at the end of each row into the first st.
• You’re going to need to know how to work into the back third loop of a hdc.
• You don’t have to fasten off between color changes, unless you want to. Just drop the inactive yarn and then pick it back up when it becomes active.
• Rotate on row 6 means rotate the whole piece 90°.
