Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the my Playful Polka Dot Blanket!

First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this how to make this blanket.

For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Slip Stitch (SL ST), tutorial here! How to make the Single Crochet Stitch (SC), tutorial here! How to make the Half Double Crochet Stitch (HDC), tutorial here! And how to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here!

There are many ways you can start your circle that will turn into a square. Here is a playlist, pick your favorite way to start here!

I'm using the CH 4 starting method for my example blanket/SQ

Row 1: Make 1 DC into the circle you created

Then work 10 DC into the center of your circle

SL ST into the 1st DC made in this circle

Row 2: Make 3 CHs

(If you start with a new color, attach to any ST)

Make 1 DC into the same ST as the CHs you just made

Make 2 DC into the next ST

Make 2 DC into the next ST

Make 2 DC into each ST around, then SL ST into the 1st DC made in this row to complete it

Row 3: Make 3 CHs

(If you start with a new color, attach to any ST)

Make 1 DC into the same ST as the CHs you just made

Make 1 DC into the next ST

*Make 2 DC into the next ST

Make 1 DC into the next ST

Repeat the steps above from *, making 2 DC then 1 DC into each ST around

Then SL ST into the 1st DC made in this row to complete it

This is where I would Fasten Off this 1st color, tutorial here!

Row 4: Make 3 CHs

Attach your new color to any ST to start, this is the row where we turn this circle into a square

Make 1 DC into the same ST as CH 3

Make 1 CH and 2 DC into that same ST

This is your 1st corner

*Make 1 HDC into the next ST

Make 1 HDC into the next ST

Make 1 SC into the next 3 STs

Make 1 HDC into the next 2 STs

So your sides will be: 2 HDC, 3 SC, 2 HDC

We're at the next corner,

make 2 DC into the next ST

Make 1 CH

Make 2 DC into that same ST

Repeat the steps above from * around, SL ST into the 1st CHs made in this row to complete

Row 5: Start at corner space, CH 2

Make 1 HDC into the same corner space

Make 2 CHs

Make 1 HDC into the same corner space

Make 1 HDC into the same corner space

*Make 1 HDC into each ST across until you reach the next corner

Make 2 HDC into the next corner space

Make 2 CHs

Make 2 HDC into the same corner space

Repeat the steps above from *, SL ST into the 1st CHs you made in this row to complete

So from here, I made 10 X 10 rows of these squares. So, 100 total squares. I joined them together using the Windsor Join, tutorial here!
