Retro Circles :: Throw


I love this circle/square pattern and am working on creating a small throw from them.
I have chosen green, mocha brown, navy blue, and grey as "circle" colors, and am lining the "square" in a light cream color. After creating the desired amount of squares I will connect to make one complete piece.

Pattern :: Retro Circles
Tools :: size H (8.50 mm) crochet hook :: Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn (from Michael's Craft Stores)

Note: Row1 calls for magic circle, if you do not know how to crochet magic circle, you can substitute following for Row1 :: Ch 4, sl stitch to make in ch farthest from hook to connect circle. Ch 3 (counts as first DC), 11 DC into middle of circle, slip stitch to connect.

Row1: Make a magic circle, chain 3 (counts as first DC), DC 11 more into circle. Slip stitch to connect.
Rows 2-4 crochet into BACK OF LOOP only.
Row2: Ch 3, DC into same stitch, DC in every stitch. Slip stitch to connect.
Row3: Ch 3, DC into same stitch, *DC in next stitch, 2 DC into next stitch* Repeat until end. Slip stitch to connect.
Row4: Ch 3, DC into same stitch, *DC in next stitch, DC in next stitch, 2 DC in next stitch* Repeat until end. Last two stitches should be DC in each stitch. Slip stitch to connect.
*Tie off this color IF changing colors for border.
Row5: Ch 1. SC SC, SC, *HDC, HDC, DC, DC,   (All into same stitch = TC, TC, ch3, TC, TC), DC, DC, HDC, HDC, SC, SC, SC* Slip stitch to connect.  
Tie off to finish this square.
