Step-by-Step Detailed Crochet Instructions

Notes

• The project is worked in rounds with color changes.
• Always crochet from the front side to maintain a clean look.
• Cut yarn between color changes and secure the ends.

Round 1 – Red Color

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn to create a magic ring.
   • Ch 4 (does not count as a stitch).
2. First Group of DCs:
   • YO, insert the hook through the ring, and make 3 DC. This is one group of DCs.
3. Create the Corner:
   • Ch 2 (corner space), then YO and make another group of 3 DCs through the magic ring.
4. End the Round:
   • Ch 1. Tighten the magic ring by pulling the yarn end.
   • Finish with a TR by YO three times and pulling through loops step-by-step (this aligns the edges neatly).
5. Fasten Off:
   • Ch 1, cut the yarn, and pull tightly.

Round 2 – White Color

1. Join White Yarn:
   • Create a slip knot and insert the hook through the chain-4 space from the previous round.
   • Begin with a TR (pull through loops 3 times) for a smoother edge.
2. First Group of DCs:
   • Ch 1, then YO and make 3 DC in the chain-4 space.
3. Corner Space:
   • Move to the corner (ch-2 space from Round 1).
   • Make 3 DC, Ch 2, and then another 3 DC in the corner space.
4. Next Space:
   • Proceed to the next chain-1 space. Make 3 DC, then Ch 1, and finish with a TR to create a smooth side edge.
5. Fasten Off:
   • Ch 1, cut the yarn, and secure the end.

Round 3 & Round 4 – Green Color

1. Adding Green Yarn:
   • Join green yarn with a slip knot. Insert the hook in the chain-1 space between the TR and first DC group from the previous round.
   • Begin with a TR (pull through loops 3 times).
2. Group and Corner Work:
   • Work 3 DC in the same chain-1 space, Ch 1, and move to the next chain space, repeating 3 DC followed by Ch 1.
   • At the corners:
     • Make 3 DC, Ch 2, and another 3 DC.
3. Ending Each Round:
   • At the last chain-1 space, complete 3 DC, Ch 1, and finish with a TR.
   • Cut the yarn and fasten off.
4. Fourth Round:
   • Begin again with green yarn using the same method.
   • Work groups of 3 DC with Ch 1 between spaces and corners as described.
   • Finish this round similarly by fastening off with a TR.

Final Round – White Color Border

1. Join White Yarn:
   • Insert the hook at the first stitch of the triangle and join white yarn with a slip knot.
   • Make 2 single crochet (SC) in the first stitch to prevent stretching.
2. Work Single Crochets:
   • Crochet 1 SC in each stitch along the straight edges.
   • At the corner spaces:
     • Make 3 SC in the center corner to create a sharp turn.
3. Finish the Border:
   • On the final stitch, make 2 SC for a neat edge.
   • Ch 1, cut the yarn, and secure the end.

Finishing Techniques

1. Hide Yarn Ends:
   • Use a darning needle or small hook to gently slide the yarn ends through the back stitches of the same color.
   • For the center magic ring, tie a small knot to prevent it from loosening.
   • Trim any excess yarn.
2. Blocking (Optional):
   • Lightly block the half granny square for a polished finish.
