tip top tutorial : DIY crochet a classic granny square

INNER RING
1.  Create your magic ring
[chain 4  +  slip stitch into your starting hole] This forms a small circle.

2.  [chain 2]**  This if your first DC.

3.  In the center of your magic ring complete [7DC].

4.  [slip stitch to the left of **] If you are switching colors, you need to tie off here.

POPQUIZ: You should have a circle with 8 rungs.


 RING LEVEL I (begin new color)
1.  If you are starting a new color of yarn, start yarn in between any rung of DC.

2.  [chain 2  +  2DC ]**  This is your first set of 3DC.

3.  [chain 1]

4.  In between each DC of your inner ring complete
[3DC  +  chain 1]

5.  [slip stitch to the left of **] If you are switching colors you need to tie off.

POPQUIZ: You should have a circle with 8 rungs of [3DC] and a [chain 1] in between each rung.



 OUTER RING (being new color)
1.  If you are starting a new color of yarn, start yarn in the hole created by a [chain 1] between any set of [3DC].

2.  [chain 2  +  2DC]**  This is your first side-set of 3DC.

3.  In the next hole created by a [chain 1] of ring level I complete your first corner-set of [3DC  +  chain 2  +  3DC].

4.  In next hole, create your second side-set of [3DC].

5.  In each of the holes created by a [chain 1] of ring level I, alternate between corner-sets and side-sets.

6.  Back at the beginning [slip stitch to the left of **] and tie off.

POPQUIZ : You should have a square with an alternation between 4 side-sets (of 3DC) and 4 corner-sets (of 3DC  +  chain 2  +  3DC).
