How to Crochet Squares to Make a Blanket Instructions

The first round of this square is easy & great for beginners! Promise. With your 9mm crochet hook attach your yarn to the hook with a slip knot then chain 2. Make 11 double crochets into the second chain from the hook which will form a circle. To complete the circle slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet.

The second round is started by chaining 2 and working a double crochet into the first stitch (the top of the first double crochet from the round before). Work two double crochets into the next stitch and again in the next then chain 2 to make the corner. Finish off the square by following the remainder of the easy pattern as written below.
