Row 1: Make 5 CHs

Make 1 DC into the 4th CH from your hook or farthest CH from your hook

*Make 3 CHs

Make 1 DC V into that same center CH/circle

Repeat the steps above from * until you have 4 DC Vs for the sides and 4 corner spaces from CH 3s

SL ST into the 1st CHs you made in this row to complete Row 1

Row 2: Flip your SQ over, start at a corner space, make 4 CHs

Make 1 DC into that same corner space

Make 3 CHs

Make 1 DC V into that same corner space

*Make 1 DC V into the previous side DC V

DC V, CH 3, DC V into next corner space

Repeat the steps above from * around

SL ST into the 1st CHs you made in this row to complete Row 2

Row 3: Flip your SQ over, start at a corner space, make 4 CHs

Make 1 DC into that same corner space, make 3 CHs, make 1 DC V into that same corner space, the corner spaces will stay the same throughout your project

*Making more DC V STs into previous ones make more for your next row, so now for Row 3 we have 3 DC Vs along our side, work 1 DC V into each one across to the next corner space
So as your side gets bigger, you can see you'll have more DC Vs to work into for any future rows

So same corner, DC V, CH 3, DC V into that next corner space

Repeat the steps above from * around

SL ST into the 1st CHs you made in this row to complete Row 3
Repeat Row 3 for however big you want your SQ
