Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, natural fiber yarn
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 20 stitches. This will be the foundation of your square.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to make 1 sc in each chain across. You should have a total of 19 single crochets. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin. Now, *skip 1 stitch, double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, then go back and make another dc in the skipped stitch (this creates a crossed dc)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Make sure to end with 1 single crochet in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1 to start. Make a single crochet in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your piece measures approximately 8 inches in height. This will give your square a lovely textured look.
6. Finishing Touch: To give your square a neat edge, finish with a row of single crochet around the entire square. This will help to frame your work beautifully.
7. Fasten Off: Once you have completed the edging, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a rustic crochet textured square. Enjoy using it in your home or gifting it to someone special!
