The pattern shows best when using at least 2 colours, and you can carry the yarn up the side to pick up at the next colour change instead of cutting off and rejoining.
You can find the links for all the squares in the crochet along here. The free pattern is below, but if you’d like the ad free printable version, it is available either as part of my Lifetime Pattern Pass, or you can purchase it on its own for £5 from Ravelry

You will need a 3.5mm hook for this square
Start by making a foundation chain of 32
Row 1. In the 4th chain from your hook make a dc. In the next 2 stitches make a hdc,
*in the next 2 stitches make a sc, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc, in the next 2 stitches make a dc, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc* repeat the pattern between *and*. End with 2 sc.
Turn
Row 2. Make an alternate turning chain in the first stitch then a dc in the second stitch In the next 2 stitches make a hdc,
*in the next 2 stitches make a sc, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc, in the next 2 stitches make a dc, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc* repeat the pattern between *and*. End with 2 sc. – 30 stitches
The wide part of row 2 fits into the narrow part of row 1
Turn
Row 3. Chain 1 (doesn’t count as a stitch) sc in the first and second stitch, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc, in the next 2 stitches make a dc,
in the next 2 stitches make a *hdc in the next 2 stitches make a sc, in the next 2 stitches make a hdc, in the next 2 stitches make a dc* repeat the pattern between *and* your last 2 stitches should be dc. – 30 stitches
Row 4. Repeat row 3
Row 5. Repeat row 2
Row 6. Repeat row 2
Rows 7– 17. Repeat rows 3 to 6
Row 18. Repeat row 2 – this will make half a wave row to give you a straight top edge.
If you want to change colour, you can after the odd numbered rows. If you’re going to use the same colour again, you can carry your yarn up the side to rejoin later instead of cutting off.
The Border
Make a sc in each stitch across the top and bottom. For the sides, make 1 sc in the side of each row ending with a sc, and make 2 sc in the sides of each row ending with a dc.
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
