• Gauge: 4 rounds = 4 inches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the yellow yarn, create a magic ring. This will form the center of your granny square.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 15 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Once you have 15 dc, pull the tail of the magic ring to close it.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3.
   • Fasten off the yellow yarn.
3. Round 2:
   • Join the orange yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 1.
   • Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Now, work 2 dc in each stitch around the circle.
   • When you reach the end of the round, join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3.
   • Fasten off the orange yarn.
4. Round 3:
   • Join the red yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 2.
   • Chain 3, then work (2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the following stitch) around the circle.
   • Continue this pattern until you complete the round.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3.
   • Fasten off the red yarn.
5. Round 4:
   • Join the cream yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 3.
   • Chain 3, then work (1 dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the following stitch) around the circle.
   • Repeat this pattern until you complete the round.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3.
   • Fasten off the cream yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
