Welcome to "Made among the oaks"

Hi, I am going to show you how to crochet this granny square, this is the chart

and then I´ll do it myself later. We begin working 6 chains and

12 single crochet around those chains. I begin crocheting one chain but this one doesn´t count. Then, 12 s. c.

Afterwards, crochet 12 petals of 15 chains each. We go up with slip stitches.

On the next row, we work 3 chains at the beginning and then 2 d.c. We work them together.

then, 4 chains, a s.c., 4 chains, a s. c.

There are always 4 chains in between. At the corner, we work 3 d. c together

and then 4 chains in between.

On the next-to-last row, 3 d.c. together and 5 chains in between at the corners.

In the other places, only 4 chains. Here in the middle

we crochet d.c. 3 together. On the last row, we´ll crochet s.c. stitches.

7 at the corners and 5 at the other places

Now, I´ll do it myself. Then, I start crocheting 6 chains.

this is one chain, I turn over the hook, I tighten the chain, I will not count this chain.

Now I´ll crochet six: one, two, three, four, five and six and I crochet a slip stitch

On the first chain, not on the one I made the knot,

I work another chain, I will not count this one either, I crochet 12 s.c.: one, two, three, four

I hide the yarn of the beginning underneath... five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve

I finish doing a slip stitch on the first s.c. and I´ll begin doing the petals:

15 chains: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve

thirsteen, fourteen and fifteeen. Now I work a slip stitch or a s.c. on the second s.c. of the previous row.

You have to do 12 petals, it has to be 12

not 11 or 13, it must be multiple fo 4. Here, I have already worked 12 petals I go

to the first petal and work a slip stictch on the first chain.

Now, I have to go up the petal, I´ll do it

with slip stitches. Here, I am at the top of the petal, I´ll work

3 chains that are equivalent to a d.c. and two d. c. more but I will not finish them

I just do the first part of the d.c. Here I have 3 threads, I´ll take them together. This is

half of the corner, I will finish the other half at the end of the row.

Now I will crochet the sides: 4 chains, I go to the other petal, a s.c., 4 chains... 2.3

4, I go to the other petal and I work a s.c.I crochet 4 chains

I´ll do the corner on the other petal: 3 d.c. worked together:

a d.c. I don´t finish, yarn over, another d.c. I don´t finish

Now I go through the four threads together. Four chains: one, two

three and four. I´ll do the other side of the corner on the same petal,

again work 3 d.c. together.... the first one I don´t finish, another d. c. I don´t finish

another d.c. I don´t finish and then I finish them together. Well this corner is finished

You see the first corner is only half crocheted, but this corner is finished. Now

4 chains and I go to the other petal and so on... 4 chains and I go to the other petal

4 chains and I go to the other corner. You can see the corners are already finished

Now, I´ll finish the first one. I have already crocheted 4 chains

Now, d.c. 3 together

Now , instead of crocheting 4 chains, I´ll crochet only 2

This is the end of the row and I´ll crochet a half double crochet

I go through the three threads at the same time, it stays in the middle

because I´ll crochet half of the corner of the next row: 3 chains and

2 d.c. The 3 chains are equivalent to a d.c.

I finish them together and croche 4 chains: one, two, three, four and I go to the middle

I work a s. c., 4 chains and here in the midde d.c. 3 together:

One d. c. I don´t finish, another d.c. I don´t finish

another d.c. I don´t finish, I go through the four threads, 4 chains

a s.c. here in the middle. Now I will work the corner. First I crochet 4 chains

and d.c. 3 together

Here in the corner, instead of crocheting 4 chains

we´ll crochet 5 chains. In this row it is like that at the corners.

You have to crochet 5 chains: one, two, three, four, five and then

d.c. 3 together: one, two, three, 4 chains more

You only have to crochet 5 chains at the corners, the other places only 4: one, two, three, four

a s.c. here, 4 more chains

and here d.c. 3 together. I finish all the sides in the same way

The first corner was only half made. Now

I have to finish it. I have already worked a s.c. in this space, 4 more chains

and d.c. 3 together :

and here I have to crochet 5 chains

I finish with a slip stitch. I have already finished this row.

On the next row, you only crochet s.c. I work a slip stitch at the beginning and

5 s.c. At the corners, I will crochet seven s.c.

I go to the next gap, I crochet 5 s.c., I go to the next gap

I work 5 s.c., I go to the next gap, 5 s.c. more and when I get to the corner I will crochet seven

It is always the same. This is the way we finish this row, with only s.c. Well, see you soon.
