Translations

This patterns is currently only available in Germanised British English US crochet terms Petranese.

There are plans to have it translated into different languages soon.

THIS PATTERN MUST NOT BE TRANSLATED INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE (EXCEPT FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE) WITHOUT THE DESIGNER’S WRITTEN PERMISSION!

You will also need

  • scissors
  • darning needle to weave in ends
  • stitch markers* (optional; this could even be a yarn scrap, a hair pin or a paperclip)

Reminder and Important Pattern Notes

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. 

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 sc at the end of each round.

Keep the slip stitch that closes the round loose as it will replace the sc below as the last stitch of the next round.

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 by crocheting without stitch markers.

Optionalstitch marker* placements are suggested for the adventurous beginner and may not be necessary for intermediate and advanced crocheters.

Suggestedstitch marker* placements are considered beneficial or essential for correct and easy stitch placement for all crochet levels.

If you follow the suggested stitch marker* placements, take the st markers out of the stitch or front loop after the special stitches have been worked, unless instructed otherwise.

If you want to add the square border or work the last round of the square in a different colour, fasten off the first colour now. 

Finish with an invisible join, weave in the ends and skip to ‘Colour change for Round 20’ or continue with the Square Border pattern

Colour change for Round 20:
Although you could add the new colour in any way you wish, the neatest way is by using a standing sc. If you choose this method, omit the ch1 and the first sc at the beginning of Round 20 and continue with the ch2 after the standing sc.

Congratulations, your Square 12 – Sassenachs
is now finished 🙂

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.
