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 your first stitch) sc in each stitch across. Change colour in the last stitch – 30 stitches

Turn

Row 2.  Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. Sc in each stitch across, in the front loops only – 30 stitches

Position Of Your Loops

Turn

Row 3. Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. Sc in each stitch across, in the back loops only – 30 stitches

Turn

Row 4. Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. Sc in each stitch across, in the front loops only. Change colour in the last stitch – 30 stitches

Turn

Row 5. Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. In the back loop make a sc. Make an embossed post in the next stitch – Insert your hook into the back loop of the next stitch and pull up a loop, then insert your hook in the front loop of the same stitch in the front loop of the stitch of the row below, insert your hook and pull up a loop. Do the same for the front loops of the stitches in each row down to row 1.

Yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Carry on earning over and pulling through 2 loops until you have 1 loop left on your hook.

Making Your Embossed Post

*Sc in the back loop in the next 3 stitches. Make an embossed post in the next stitch* repeat between *and* finishing the row with 2 sc in the back loops and a sc in the last stitch – 7 embossed posts in the row.

Turn

Rows 6 – 8. Repeat rows 2-4

Turn

Row 9. Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. In the back loops only make a sc in the next 3 stitches. *make an embossed post in the next stitch. In the back loops only make a sc in the next 3 stitches*

Repeat between *and* make a sc in the last stitch

Turn

Rows 10-25. Repeat rows 2 – 9

The Border

Sc in each stitch across the top and bottom

For the sides, make 2 sc in the side of rows 1, 7, 13, 19, 25. 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 square and join and you can tie off and weave in the ends
