Hi Tracy,

You are absolutely correct in your description of how to change colors and hide tails.

Happy crocheting!

Deb, thankyou for teaching.  You did a good job. I enjoyed your class.

You didn't put the part about optionally changing color, but it was easy.  AS I recall, just pull up a loop of the new color, instead of the old color, and go on your way.  And hold the 2 tails, the old color and the new, against the outside edge of the square in such a way that the yarn passes over them and hides them.  Much easier than I thought.
Tracy

I don't have much practice writing out patterns so hope this is helpful. If you find mistakes, let me know and I'll try to correct them.

Thanks for the opportunity to teach.

GRANNY SQUARE INSTRUCTIONS

Deb Trevino, June 2026

MATERIALS: 4-ply yarn and comparable sized crochet hook (I prefer an H). You will need stitch markers to help you keep your place, scissors and a tape measure.

Explanatory Note: Each round of the square is begun before you reach the fourth  corner. For example, the second round is closed with a sl st between the two sets of 3 dc on the fourth side of the square.

To begin, create a slip knot and place it on your hook. Chain 5 and sl st into the original slip knot to form a ring.

Round 1: Ch3 (counts as first dc). 2 dc into the center of the ring. * Ch 3 to form first corner, 3 dc into the ring*; repeat from * to * twice more to complete 4 sides of the square.

To close the square and create the fourth corner, Ch3 and sl st into top of first ch3 space. Sl st between the 2 dc's and once more into the ch3 space. Insert a stitch marker to indicate this as fourth corner.

Round 2: Ch3, (counts as first dc). 2 dc in corner where you have the stitch marker. Ch3, 3 dc in same corner. You have completed the first corner of the second round.

*Move to next corner from prior round; 3 dc, ch3, 3 dc*. Repeat twice more to get to final corner of the round. Your yarn is between two clusters of 3 dc's. Sl st into top of ch3, then after the next two dc's. Your hook should now be in position to begin the next round. Move your stitch marker to indicate beginning of round 3.

Round 3:  Ch3, (counts as first dc). 2 dc in corner where you have the stitch marker. Ch3, 3 dc in same corner. You have completed the first corner of round 3. *3 dc between clusters of dc on previous round*; repeat from * to *. Ch 3 in corner and turn. Second 3 dc in corner. 3 dc between cluster on previous round and in third corner. *3 dc between clusters of dc on previous round*; repeat from * to *. Ch 3 in corner and turn. 3 dc in both clusters from previous round. As you approach fourth corner, sl st in top of ch3 which began this round. Sl st following the dc then once more into the corner ch3-space. Be sure to move your stitch marker to indicate beginning of round 4.

Continue the pattern for three more rounds. Cut yarn and pull through final stitch. Weave in end.
