This pattern is written in US terms, but the UK translation is below.

UK Translation

• Single crochet (sc) = Double crochet
• Front Post Treble Crochet (fptr) = Front post double treble crochet

For this square I used Rico Cotton Creative Aran which is a 100% cotton non mercerised yarn. I chose this yarn as I love the feel of cotton, and it has a good selection of colours to choose from. This yarn does tend to split a little bit especially if you frog it a couple of times, so if this type of yarn is something you struggle to crochet with, I would choose a different brand.

I used the shades Rose (00), Cardinal (11), Turquoise (36) and Gentain (87) of Rico Cotton Aran yarn, which are all of the 4 different colours I used to create my own 50 stitches blanket. I also used a 3.5mm hook – I recommend using Clover Amour hooks. A cost effective hook that is comfortable in your hands thanks to their ergonomic design, so doesn’t make your hands tired when crocheting for long periods of time.

For this square you will need a 3.5mm hook

Start by making a foundation chain of 31

Row 1. In the 3rd chain from your hook make a sc (the turning chain counts as a stitch). Make a sc in each chain across – 30 stitches

Don’t turn for any row. You need to cut off your yarn after every row for this square and rejoin a new strand of yarn into the 1st stitch of previous row.

Rows 2 and 3. Chain 1 and make a sc in the first stitch. Make a sc in each stitch across – 30 stitches

Row 4. Chain 1 and make a sc in the first stitch. The next stitch is a front post treble crochet (fptr) made around the post of the stitch directly 3 rows below. *Make a sc in each of the next 6 stitches. Make a fptr around the post 3 rows below* repeat between *and* then sc in each of the last 7 stitches of the row.

Row 5. Chain 1 and make a sc in the first and second stitch.

Make a sc in each of the next 2 stitches then make a fptr around the post of the stitch directly 3 rows below. *Make a sc in each of the next 6 stitches then make a fptr around the post 3 rows below* repeat between *and* then sc in the last 5 stitches

Row 7. Chain 1 and sc in first stitch. Sc in the next 3 stitches then make a fptr around the post of the stitch directly 3 rows below. *Make a sc in each of the next 6 stitches then make a fptr around the post 3 rows below* repeat between *and* then sc in the last 4 stitches

Row 8. Chain 1 and sc in first stitch. Sc in the next 4 stitches then make a fptr around the post of the stitch directly 3 rows below. *Make a sc in each of the next 6 stitches then make a fptr around the post 3 rows below* repeat between *and* then sc in the last 3 stitches

Rows 11- 26. Repeat rows 4-10

The Border

Now you need to add the single crochet border to your week 32 square before we join this one to last weeks square with the Interlocking border. We’re going to be making a round of single crochet around our square. I’ve chosen to do this in a contrasting colour for each of my squares, but you can use a complimenting or same colour as your square if you want. I chose to use Turquoise (36) in Rico Cotton Creative Aran yarn for my border colour, the same colour that I also used for the Interlocking border.

Use a 4mm hook for the border stitches.

Make a sc in every stitch across the top and bottom edges. For the sides make 2 sc in the sides of rows 1, 8, 18 and 26. Make 1 sc 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 Week 32 square of the 50 Stitches Crochet Along and can now cut off and weave in your ends before joining this piece to your previous pieces.

You can now add the interlocking border to join this weeks square to last weeks. You can see how to do this here both as a written guide and with a video to help you too.
