Crochet Wheel Stitch Square with Post Stitch

Written Instructions - http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2009/06/crochet-wheel-stitch-square-catheri...

Written by Teresa Richardson

Joined Stitches - The joined stitches will be done by wrapping the yarn around your hook twice, insert the hook through the stitch, pull the yarn through the stitch, wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops, wrap the yarn over, pull through two loops. Leave the last loop of each stitch on your hook. There will be 5 loops on the hook for the corner joined, 8 loops on the hook for the flat edge joined.

NOTE:

The wheel stitch with the back post is a heavier stitch using more yarn. It will make a nice and warm afghan.
The wheel stitch square can be modified and used with double crochet.
The wheel stitch can be easily modified to use more stitches in each wheel

CH 5, Join.
Round 1: *CH 3, work 4 TC joined, CH 1 to secure, CH 3, SL ST in the CH. Complete 4 times total from *. See diagram for stitch placement.

Round 2: * 10 TC in the center eye of the corner joined stitch, SL ST between stitches, Repeat around from *. See Diagram (There will be 4 corner shells at this point. This is the foundation, setting up the square to expand and get larger)

Round 3: Skipping 3 TC on the corner, *SL ST in to the next ST, CH 3, work 4 joined TC across 4 stitches, ch to join, CH 3, SL ST in the same stitch you just completed. Flat Edge Valley - CH 3, Work 7 joined triple crochet across the 3 previous TC, SL ST , 3 TC. CH 3. Repeat from * 4 times total. See Diagram.

Rounds 3-4 will be repeated to make the square larger. You can do the traditional triple crochet or a back post triple crochet for the ridge effect as in the image above.

There will be 1 additional wheel stitch on each side as you progress with each round.

I have a question about the number of skeins that need to be used. How do you determine the right amount of yarn to purchase for a project. I either end up with too much or too little and it gets frustrating especially when I have to buy more and can't find the color... Any tips?

@Canthony12 You learn to guesstimate through experience or through someone else making the project so you have an idea how much yarn was used. You are better off to have to much than not enough.  Save your receipt and take the extra skeins back when you are finished.
