'Petranese' explained
“Petranese” is the Black Sheep Crochet way of writing overlay crochet patterns.
If you are not yet familiar with this system, you can download your free copy of the ‘Petranese’ explained – Basics with explanations, instructions and photo tutorials for some special stitches here (also included in the pattern purchase):
Alternatively, visit the online version ‘Petranese’ explained Tutorial series
Video Tutorials
You can find all video tutorials for this and other released squares in my YouTube Channel for Black Sheep Crochet, where you can also subscribe for automatic notification when new videos are uploaded.
All videos are in “Germanised British English US crochet terms Petranese”.
This means I am using US crochet terminology within ‘Petranese’, British/Australian speech and grammar for instructions and narrations, ‘spiced’ and ‘enriched’ with germanised expressions due to not being a native English speaker.
NO VIDEO TUTORIAL MAY BE CREATED FROM THIS PATTERN – IN ANY LANGUAGE – WITHOUT THE DESIGNER’S WRITTEN PERMISSION!
As the video tutorials get pretty long, I have divided them in 2 parts. 2.1 is for Rounds 21 to 28 (below), 2.2 for Rounds 29 to 35 (further down, before Round 29).

What you will need
If you have made any of the other Wrapped in Jamie squares , you have an approximate idea of the amount you need for one square.
Claire is as big as four squares including the square border, so it will require approximately the same amount of yarn. Make sure you are rather on the generous site when calculating your yardage.
If this is your first Wrapped in Jamie design, you can get a general idea about yarn requirements here:
Wrapped in Jamie squares Yarn requirements
You will also need
Claire Part 1 (finished up to Round 20)
- scissors
- darning needle to weave in ends
- stitch markers* (optional, but highly recommended, this could even be yarn scrap, a hair pin or a paperclip) – if you choose to use stitch markers, it will be good to have at least 4 different colours. And lots of them 😉
Reminder and Important Pattern Notes (some new for Part 2)
Skipping stitches
For each special stitch you make in front, behind, around or in the front loop of another stitch from a previous round, you must leave the stitch behind or in front of the special stitch unworked (skip 1 stitch) unless instructed otherwise. A reminder to skip those stitches will be written under the special stitches for each round, not within the pattern instructions. If more than one special stitch has been worked and therefore more than one stitch needs to be skipped, a reminder is included in the pattern instructions.
It is not necessary to skip a stitch when the special stitch is being worked over a stitch and therefore envelopes it, as it is for example the case with spike and split spike stitches, hdc-arounds or psc and psc-x.
While we skip a stitch behind a long front post stitch, a front post single crochet does not leave a lot of room for skipping (although technically we still skip at least the top loops of the stitch we fpsc around).
The main objective here is to avoid unnecessary increases, so please keep that in mind.
Ch1 and slip stitch
The ch1 at the beginning of the round does not count as a stitch and will be skipped when we slip stitch into the first stitch at the end of each round.
Keep the slip stitch that closes the round loose as it will replace the stitch below as the last stitch of the next round.
Stitch markers
The use of stitch markers* is optional and mainly intended to encourage and support less experienced crocheters. If finding free front loops is easy for you, you are likely to be quicker crocheting without stitch markers.
- ‘Optional’ stitch markers*placements are suggested for the adventurous beginner and may not be necessary for intermediate and advanced crocheters.
- ‘Suggested’ stitch markers* placements are considered beneficial or essential for correct and easy stitch placement for all crochet levels.
If you follow the suggested stitch markers* placements, take the stitch markers out of the stitch or front loop after the special stitches have been worked, unless instructed otherwise.
Picot Single Crochet
A psc-x is made when the next st is a special stitch where the stitch behind it is skipped. The nature of the psc requires some anchoring, which is achieved by making the variation psc-x. You can make a psc-x (picot single crochet variation) whenever the pattern calls for a regular psc, but not the other way around.
Stitch markers for
– Rose bud
When working the rose bud, it is helpful to place a st marker in the third loop of the first of three sc in BLO you make to start the rose bud. It will make it easier and quicker to find the correct free FLO to ss into in order to close the st. Leave the st marker in place until you worked over the st in the next round, where you will be crocheting into this third loop or the two main loops of this st (your choice).
Puff-a st
The puff-a st appears to have 2 top loops: the last loop that was on the hook (the ‘original’ loop) and the closing chain. In the following round, when working over the puff-a st, I recommend working into the ch1 and skipping the original loop of the puff st.
Special Stitches used in this pattern
Please note: The special stitches work well for crocheters/crochettes with a ‘normal’ or ‘tight’ tension. If your tension is loose, you will find that using, for example, tr instead of dtr will give you a cleaner and crisper stitch definition.
In contrast, if your tension is very tight, please give an extra yarn over when making long stitches.

If you want to take pretty pictures, you can block your square.
There are different ways to block a square, which I will write about in a different post.
You can go thrifty or luxurious with your blocking tools* or a mixture of both. Either way, your squares will most likely look straighter with an increased stitch definition when they have been blocked.
