The Pattern

You will need a 3.5 mm hook for this square

Start by making a foundation chain of 32

Row 1. In second chain from your hook, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull up a loop in the next 3 stitches. 

Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook. Chain 1. 

*pull up a loop in the eye of the star. Yarn over and pull up a loop in the last stitch from the previous star. Yarn over and pull up loops in the next 2 stitches. Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook. Chain 1*

Repeat between *and* across the row. Make a hdc in the last stitch.

Turn

Row 2. Chain 1 and make the alternate turning chain in the first stitch. In the eye of each star in the row below, make 2 hdc. Hdc in the top of the turning chain in the last row.

Turn

Row 3. Chain 3. In second chain from your hook, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull up a loop in the next chain. Skip the first stitch of the row. Yarn over and pull up a loop in the next 2 stitches. 

Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook. Chain 1. *pull up a loop in the eye of the star. Yarn over and pull up a loop in the last stitch from the previous star. Yarn over and pull up loops in the next 2 stitches. Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook. Chain 1*

Repeat between *and* across the row. Make a hdc in the last stitch.

Turn

Rows 4 – 16. Repeat rows 2 and 3

The Border

In each stitch across the top and bottom make 1 sc.

For the sides, make 1 sc in rows 1 and 16. Make 2sc in the side of all other rows

You should have 30 sc down each side, plus an extra stitch in each corner for the turn. This will make your stitch count as 32 stitches across each side and 124 stitches total (remember the extra stitch corner stitch is counted in the stitch count for both sides)

You have now finished your square and join and you can tie off and weave in the ends

You can now add the interlocking border, joining this weeks square to last weeks as you join. You can see how to do this here
