Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on my free crochet pattern: Lonely Polka Dot Square!
First, with any project you’ll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning how to make this square.
There are several ways to start this motif. You can use the Magic Ring/Circle/Loop, I have a tutorial here! The Chain 4 method, I have a tutorial here! Or the Slip Stitch Method, I have a tutorial here!
I will be using the Chain 4 Method for my tutorial
For this pattern you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make a Slip Stitch (SL ST), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), I have a tutorial here! And how to make the Triple Crochet Stitch (TR), tutorial here!

Row 1: Make 4 chains
Work 15 DC into the 4th CH from your hook, the CH farthest away from your hook
SL ST into the 1st DC made in this row to complete
Row 2: Make 4 CHs
*Make 1 TR in-between next previous DC STs
Make 1 CH
Repeat these 2 steps from * around
SL ST into the 1st TR made in this row to complete
Row 3: Make 3 CHs
Make 1 TR in previous CH 1 space, between previous TR STs
*Make 1 CH
2 TR into the next previous CH 1 space, between previous TR STs

SL ST into the 1st TR made in this row to complete
Row 4: Make 3 CHs

This is where we start turning our circle into a square

Make 5 CHs
Make 3 DC between previous TR STs
Repeat these steps from * around until you reach the 1st CHs you made in this row

You'll have 3 sets of 3 DC for each side + the 1 TR and 5 CHs at each corner
Row 5: Make 3 CHs
2 DC into open space underneath CHs just made
*Make 3 DC into each previous open space across until you reach the corner space, between previous 3 DCs made in last row
Into corner: Make 3 DC, CH3, 3 DC into same open space
Repeat these steps from * around until you reach the 1st CHs you made in this row
SL ST into the 1st DC made in this row to complete
This is what the Lonely Polka Dot Square should look like when completed!
