For tutorial you will need your selected yarn and using Paintbox Simply DK in
the colour peach orange daffodil yellow washed teal pale lilac and champagne white
I'll leave all the links in the description box below for you you can
obviously use whichever colours you want but you want to label them A B C D and E
I'm going to be using a four millimeter crochet hook but you can check your yarn
band to see what it recommends you'll also need a pair of scissors and a
darning needle for sewing in your ends don't forget there's going to be the free
written pattern on my blog which again I'll leave in the description box below

with all of my latest videos okay let's get started so we're going to start with
colour A and we're going to start with a magic ring or magic circle I will leave
a link in the description box below for a slowed down version of this but you're
going to wrap around your finger make a cross and then you'll have two strands
on the back go under and pull that yarn through twist your hook grab the yarn
and then pull it through so we're going to start with round one and for round
one we're going to chain 3 1 2 & 3 so this classes as the first stitch so it
classes as a treble crochet remember I'm you're working in UK terms in the US
this is known as a double crochet and then we'll go to do 11 trebles into this
magic circle so for a treble crochet you're going to yarn over the hook
insert into the centre circle yarn over pull through you will have
three loops on the hook yarn over pull through those first two loops you'll
have two loops on the hook and then yarn over pull through those
next two loops again if you need a bit of a refresher on that one I have a
dedicated video just for the UK treble US double so that is our first treble
crochet go ahead and do two and three pause the video until you have done 11
treble crochets remember that that first one is classing as a stitch will have 12
treble crochets in total so pause the video work those stitches and meet me
back in just a moment okay so I've finished round one and as I
say you'll have 12 stitches in total including that chain 3 what we're going
to do now is move onto round 2 and we're going to join with a slip stitch
to the first stitch but at this point we're also going to change to colour B
so what we want to do is find this chain 3 and then insert our stitch into the
top of the chain 3 I'm going to drop colour a pick up colour B with a loop and
then draw colour B through instead of drawing colour A and that is our colour
change what I'm going to do now is I'm going to snip off colour A and we are
done with that colour and then pick up colour B and lay the tail ends of A and B
along your work so that you can start to crochet them in a little bit so now what
we're going to do is we're going to chain 3 1 2 & 3 this classes as a stitch
we're going to increase the amount of stitches in this round so we're going to
actually do two treble crochets into each stitch so first of all we're going
to do 1 treble into the same stitch as the chain 3 what I'm going to do here is
make sure that these tail ends are actually over the hook and then complete
my treble crochet were then going to do two treble crochets into every stitch
all the way round so yarn over into the neck
stitch make sure those tail ends are over and then do treble crochet and then
treble crochet into that same stitch and simply do that all the way round until
we have 24 stitches in total so I'm going to continue working round in that
way what I'm going to do is after I've done maybe another two sets of stitches
I will then drop this at these tail and so that I can weave them back in the
opposite way once I've finished the square so go ahead pause the video work
those 24 stitches and then meet me back and I'll show you how to move on to
round three so once you've finished round two were then going to move on to
round three and we're going to change to colour C so we're going to insert our
hook into the top of the chain 3 of the beginning of the round and then we're
going to take colour C and do exactly the same as what we did before so you're
going to take a loop and pull it through and through you might want to tighten up
on that colour B and chain three one two and three I'm just going to snip off my
colour B now and we can continue with colour C so I'm going to lay those tail
ends down just as I did before so for round three we're going to do a treble
crochet into the same stitch as that chain three just as we did before and
we're actually going to increase from 24 stitches to 36 stitches in this round so
what we want to do here is do a pattern repeat so we have two trebles in the
same stitch and then we're just going to do one treble into the next stitch and
that's the pattern repeat we're going to do all the way around so two trebles
into the next stitch one and two and then 1 treble into the next
again I'm doing the same things with the tail ends carrying them over so two
trebles one and two into the same stitch and one
treble into the next stitch so go ahead pause the video work your way all the
way round you'll have 36 stitches in total and I'll meet you back and show
you how to move onto round four okay so we've now finished round three we're now
ready to move on to round four so we're going to insert our hook into the top of
the chain three from the beginning of the round take our colour D and pull that
through chain three one two and three and I'm just going to snip off colour C
and put that to one side so we're going to do another pattern repeat we're going
to start off by doing a treble crochet into the base of that chain 3 so that is
classing as two stitches in the same stitch and then this time we're going to
increase from 36 stitches to 48 so we're going to do one treple crochet into the
next stitch and then 1 treble crochet into the next stitch so the pattern
repeat is two trebles into the next stitch one and two followed by 1 treble
into the next two stitches treble and treble so go ahead pause the video work
that repeat all the way round and I'll meet you back for round five so now
we've come to the end of our round four we're going to insert our hook into
that very first stitch and then take colour E and pull that through this is
the border colour now so we're going to start off by chaining 3 1 2 & 3 and then
snipping off the last colour I'm just going to pop that out of the way okay so for
round five we're going to treble crochet into the very same stitch now it's at
this point that we are going to start to use a few different stitches in order to
create a square so we're taking it from being round to being square I'm just
going to pull on those tail ends just to secure that into place so here
what we're going to do is we're going to chain one and that chain one is going to
be our corner and then we're going to do two treble crochets into the very next
stitch one and two then going to do a half treble crochet which is half double
in the US that's yarn over into the next stitch yarn over and pull through you'll
have three loops on the hook you're going to yarn over and pull through all
three loops on that hook we're then going to do eight double crochets so in
the US that's a single crochet so straight into the next stitch yarn over
and pull up a loop yarn over pull through two so that's one two three four
five six seven and eight we're then going to do that little
pattern repeat again so we're going to a half treble into the next stitch and
then we're going to do two trebles into the next stitch one and two chain one
for the corner and then two trebles into the next stitch one and two
half treble into the next stitch followed by eight double crochets one
two three four five six seven and eight and then you're going to do that pattern
repeat twice more so go ahead pause the video and then meet me back in just a
moment okay so once you've finished that twice and finished off with your eight
double crochets you'll then have one stitch remaining which you're going to
do your half treble into so go ahead do your half double crochet and then you're
going to insert your hook into the top of the chain 3 from the beginning of the
round and slip stitch we're then moving on to round six so chain 3 1 2 &
3 and we're going to do 1 treble into the next stitch then going to work the
corner and we're going to do two treble crochets into that chain 1 space 1 & 2
followed by chain 2 and then 2 trebles into that next stitch 1 & 2
you're then going to do one treble into the next 14 stitches so that will take us all the
way over to the next chain one space to work the corner you want to pull these
stitches over so that you're not missing that very first stitch just here so
there's your first treble you're going to work all the way along so go ahead
pause the video work those fourteen stitches right the way to the opposite
corner and then meet me back in just a moment so once you've worked your way
across you'll find yourself at this chain one space again and you're simply
going to repeat that pattern repeat two trebles chain two two trebles into the
corner space one treble into those fourteen trebles across the side so
you're going to repeat it once twice and then on the third time we won't
quite have as many trebles so I'm just going to work my way to this corner as
should you and I'll meet you back in just a moment okay so once you've worked
that last corner you then have 12 stitches remaining to do on this side
because we already did two of the stitches right at the very beginning so
go ahead do one treble into each of those twelve trebles and then meet me
back once you're ready okay so now all you have left to do is slip stitch into
the top of that chain three chain one and snip off your yarn and then all that
would be left to do is to weave in your ends I would suggest the rule of three
so we've already gone once you would go back the opposite way and then sewing
back the opposite way I'll leave a link in the description box below of my video
for the rule of three so there we have the circle of hope
granny square I think you can agree it's absolutely gorgeous don't forget I'll
