For this square you will need a 3.5mm hook

Start by making a foundation chain of 31

Row 1. Sc In 3rd chain from your hook. Chain 1, *skip a stitch and dc2tog in the next stitch (yarn over and insert hook into the chain and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Yarn over and insert hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops, 

Making the dc2tog

yarn over and pull through all 3 loops)

The finished dc2tog cluster

chain 1 skip a stitch and make 2sc* repeat between *and* sc in the last stitch

Turn

Row 2. Chain 1 and make the alternate turning chain in the first stitch. Chain 2, sc in the top of the dc2tog, *chain 5 and sc in the top of the dc2tog* repeat between *and* after the last dc2tog, chain 2 and dc in the last stitch.

Chain 5

Turn

Row 3. Chain 1 and sc in the first stitch. *Chain 2 and make a dc2tog in the top of the sc. Chain 2 and sc around the chain 5*

Repeat between *and* ending with a sc in the last stitch.

Row 3 of the Lace Cluster Stitch

Rows 4-15. Repeat rows 2 and 3, ending with a repeat of row 3.

The Border

For the top and bottom make 1 sc in the top of each dc2tog and sc. Make 1 sc in each chain space.

For the sides, make 2 sc in the side of each row.

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
