Got Squares?

Finally, I'm getting around to revealing the squares I made for the baby blanket. Remember, I made three... One of them I actually crocheted: the granny square in the third column, second row. Two to go... Any guesses? ^^

The pattern for a granny square is quite simple (ch=chain, sl st=slip stich, dc=double crochet):

Start: ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring.

Round 1: ch 3, 2 dc in ring, ch 2, *3 dc in ring, ch 2; repeat from * 2 more times; join with sl st to first dc.

Round 2: Sl st in next 2 dc and in next ch-2 space. (ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in same space, ch 1, * (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner ch-2 space, ch 1; repeat from * 2 more times; join with sl st to first dc.

Once you get the basic idea, just continue until you have a square the desired size. Snip off the yarn and weave in the end. VoilĂ ! You have a granny square!
