How To Make A Crochet Granny Square Using The Magic Ring Technique (Part Two)

So, now you will have hopefully mastered the Magic Ring.  The last step you should have carried out is a slip stitch through the top of the third stitch at the end of the round/square.  This is Part Two of the Crochet Granny Square Tutorial.   

Hook is 4.5mm and yarn is from Ice Yarns in Turkey and it is Merino Light 30 in an Indigo Blue colourway.   Pattern is written out in UK Terms with the US Terms in brackets.  


Chain four. This forms 1 treble stitch (US 1 x double crochet stitch) and 1 chain stitch and will come into play at the end of the second round.

Into the space on the first corner you need to make 3 treble crochet stitches (US 3 x double crochet stitches)

Chain three.

Next make 3 treble crochet stitches into the same chain space as the first 3 treble crochet stitches (US 3 x double crochet stitches).

Chain one.  This chain forms a runway gap for the next round. 

Into the next chain space on the next corner make 3 treble crochet stitches (US 3 x double crochet stitches).

Chain 3.

Make 3 treble crochet stitches into the same chain space as the first 3 treble crochet stitches (US 3 x double crochet stitches).

Then chain one and make 3 treble crochet stitches (3 x double crochet stitches) into the next chain space.

Chain 3.

Make 2 treble crochet stitches (US 2 x double crochet stitches)

Then make a slip stitch into top of the third stitch of the four chain that you made at the beginning of this round.  

Showing slip stitch at end of second round.

Push hook from front to back of work through chain space directly underneath slip stitch.

Grab the yarn on hook at the back of work and pull it back through you will have two loops on your hook.

Place your yarn over hook and pull back through both loops on hook.  

This is what your crochet granny square will look like when you have finished round two.
