Tip:

For a polished look, use a color palette that harmonizes with your interior decor.

Materials Needed:

• Four contrasting color yarns (DK weight recommended)
• 4 mm crochet hook
• A pair of scissors

Pattern:

Round 1: The Circle Start

• Make a slip knot and chain 4 (counts as your first treble stitch).
• Work 15 trebles into the first chain you made. This chain becomes the centre of your circle.
• Slip stitch to the top of the initial 4 chains to join the round.

Round 2: Puff Stitch Round

• Change to your second color yarn with a slip knot on your hook.
• Join yarn to the first stitch of the previous round.
• Chain 1. Work puff stitches all around by yarning over, pulling up a loop three times in the same stitch, then yarning over and pulling through all the loops on the hook. Chain 1 to close each puff stitch.
• Repeat this process in every stitch around. You should have 16 puff stitches at the end of this round.
• Join the round by slip stitching between the first and second puff stitches.

For Round 3: Treble Cluster Round

• Join your next color yarn in between the puff stitches of the previous round.
• Chain 1.
• Work a treble cluster by yarning over, inserting your hook into the space between puff stitches, pulling up a loop, yarning over, and pulling through two loops on the hook. Repeat this four times in the same space, then yarn over and pull through all five loops on your hook.
• Chain 2 and repeat the treble cluster in each space around the circle. You should have 16 clusters.
• Join the round by slip stitching between the first and second clusters.

Round 4: Turning the Circle into a Square

• Change to your next color yarn.
• Find any space between the clusters of the previous row and join the yarn with a slip stitch.
• Make a double crochet into the same space, then chain 3 (counts as the first double treble).
• Work two more double trebles into the same space.
• Chain 1 to create a corner, then work three more double trebles into the same space.

• Move to the next space; work three trebles.
• In the following space, work three half trebles.
• Repeat the pattern of trebles, half trebles, and double trebles for creating corners around to turn the circle into a square.
• Finish the round and fasten off your yarn.
