 Hey guys, Tasha here from Start of School Crochet. This week's Saturday Stitch Tutorial is a daisy in a square, a daisy in a square. It's very awesome. It's really actually not too difficult to work up once you learn the repeats, just like normal. And I worked it up in a solid color and also a tricolor. The tutorial is in the tricolor. And as you can see, it's really good to block them because this one's blocked and this one's not blocked. So go ahead and grab your hook and your yarn and we'll start this tutorial. Thanks for stopping by. And for this tutorial I'm using a 4.5mm hook. I'm using stonewashed again because I really love this yarn. The three colors that I'm using are, this one is called, it's number 828 and it's called Larimar. I don't know if I pronounced that right. And then this one is called Citrine. And the color number is 817. And then the white is 821 and it's called Pink Quartzite. Which it's kind of an off-white color, which is really nice. We're going to work a magic circle or you can do a chain 5 and then join the chain and work into the center of the ring. But I'm going to work a magic circle to start because I prefer magic circles just because they're easier to me. And then I'm going to go ahead and chain 1. So we're going to work 12 single crochets into the ring. We've got 1, 2, oops, 3, 4, 5 and you can go ahead and pause the video if you'd like and then come back when you have 12. I've completed my 12 and I will now tighten up my magic ring. So we're going to change to white for round 2. I'm going to leave this hole just a little bit wide right now and that'll be okay because I can always tighten it up later. So I'm going to grab my second yarn which is going to be the white color and I'm going to join it while I join into the first single crochet. So you join with a slip stitch by inserting into the first stitch. Then you're going to lay your color over, pull through and then pull through again. So for round 2 we're going to, I'm going to pull things tight a little bit just to add. There we go. For round 2 it begins with a chain 11. So we're going to chain 11, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. After you chain 11 we're going to work a slip stitch into the same as the base chain and then we're going to continue that around the entire loop. So you chain 11, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and then we're going to go down and work a slip stitch into the next single crochet and you repeat that 12 times all the way around. So let's pause the video and then come back when we're finished. Alright so here I have my 11 and I'm going to go ahead and do a slip stitch into the very last single crochet. Okay so to begin round 3 we're going to work in our white color up until we get to this point and then we're going to change to blue or whatever you want to use for your background color. So to start we're going to do a slip stitch in each of the first six but on that sixth one we're going to change colors. So there I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then on our sixth one I'm going to insert my hook but before I complete it I'm going to add my blue and pull through with the blue. So I created my sixth and now we're going to chain 4 with the new color and then we're going to single crochet into the sixth chain of the next loop which is right here so we're going to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and we're going to do a single crochet into the top of that chain. And here we're going to work a little cluster and we're going to be working it into the next loop but first we chain 4 then we're going to work a double crochet 3 cluster in here with a chain 4 in between so to do a double crochet chain cluster or 3 cluster you yarn over once, insert your hook through the middle of the loop, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 and then you repeat that 2 more times. Just pulling through 2 loops until you have 3 total double crochets and then you yarn over and pull through all of the loops on your hook then you're going to chain 4 and work 1 more double crochet 3 cluster into that same loop space and so there we have our little clusters. Next we're going to chain 4, this will be the beginning of a repeat, we're going to work this 2 times and then repeat it until the end so you chain 4 and then we're going to count 6 up in the next loop 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, work a single crochet, we're going to do that 1 more time, chain 4 and then work a single crochet into the next cluster or the next loop 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and chain 4. Now we're going to work another double crochet 3 cluster into the loop space, chain 4 and work another double crochet 3 cluster into the same space and this is where we're kind of cornering out so that's going to be our repeat, we're going to repeat the beginning with our chain 4 and refer to the written pattern if you'd like for this part because it can be a little confusing or tedious I should say, not so much confusing but so now we're going to do a single crochet in the 6th, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 then we're going to chain 4, move on over to the next loop in the 6th chain, do a single crochet 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and remember to chain 4 after that one too so are you getting the hang of it, next we're going to do the double crochet 3 cluster into the next loop, chain 4 in between the two clusters and then we're going to do our repeat so we start with a chain 4, we do a chain 4 then we do a single crochet, chain 4, single crochet, chain 4, double crochet 3 cluster, chain 4, double crochet 3 cluster so repeat that until you come around the very end which we're almost there so you can pause the video and come right back. Okay so here I have done my entire round, when you get to the end of the repeat you'll end with the double crochet cluster, chain 4 and double crochet cluster and then to join we're going to do another chain 4 after this cluster so you chain 4, the last white stitch of the round or you count up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the 5th and then next we're going to slip stitch into the next 2 chains and we're going to start round 4 now so we're going to slip stitch into 2, it's being tricky so we've got 1 and 2 and then we're going to chain 3 and do a double crochet 2 cluster into this same chain 4 space so a double crochet 2 cluster as you yarn over first, insert your hook into the space, grab a loop and pull it up, yarn over and pull through 2 and then repeat that one more time and so now you'll have 3 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 3 and even though that's not the chain here is considered a part of the cluster that we're working so it kind of blends together which makes it nice so after we do that we're going to chain 4 and we're going to single crochet into the next chain 4 space then we're going to chain 4 again and we're going to work a double crochet 3 cluster plus a chain 4 and another double crochet 3 cluster into this chain 4 space which is considered a corner and this will help you work it out easier if you find the repeats because these are the corner stitches here so let's do double crochet 3 cluster, a chain 4 and a double crochet cluster, double crochet 3 cluster okay and once you finish that we're going to chain 4 and then we're going to single crochet into the next chain 4 space right here we're going to chain 4 one more time and do a double crochet 3 cluster into this chain 4 space just one we're going to chain 4 again and single crochet into the next chain 4 space after that we're going to chain 4 and we're going to work another double cluster into the corner space so you yarn over we're going to do 2 a double 3 cluster a chain 4 and a double 3 cluster okay so hoping you can kind of see what it's doing here and the repeat so in the corner stitches you're working the similar one it's kind of extending it out and then when you get to the center of the square you're just doing one double crochet 3 cluster in that corner in that right there and then in between you're doing chain 4 single chain 4 chain 4 single chain 4 that helps me when I'm doing repeats because sometimes looking at a written pattern makes my eyes go boggy like boggly whatever it's just so like right here we've already worked that and what will help you work these next two corners this and this is to just remember chain 4 single chain 4 double crochet cluster chain 4 single chain 4 and then work your double clusters in there hope that makes sense so go ahead and pause the video refer to the written pattern if you need it and we'll come back and you'll be finished okay here I'm at the end of my repeat and I'm coming up to the beginning of the round so here after we do our double crochet 3 clusters and the chain 4 in the corner we're going to do a chain 4 single crochet just like we did and then to close it out we're going to chain 4 and we're going to work a slip stitch into the third chain of the chain 3 from the beginning of the round so you're not actually going into the top of that 2 cluster you're going to go right next to it into the chain 3 like that and that's it so it's finished and it's so cute so of course you have your little tails and I might actually pull my little magic circle a little bit tighter I got the right one yeah there we go and then of course it's great idea to block it because this looks a lot better blocked and it also looks really beautiful in a solid color so I did two of them and I first I did this one and I thought I really think this would pop with changing the colors doing a little color changes so that's where I was wanting to decide to do this one because it just seems like it's a daisy so I wanted the daisy to pop out right but it looks beautiful both ways don't you think all right guys I hope you enjoyed this tutorial I hope it wasn't too long but these little squares take a little bit longer and I'd like to go through the pattern just a little bit more with you because I know some people are just complete visual learners and honestly looking at this can be difficult even for me sometimes like I said my eyes go boggy looking at it but anyway so leave a little comment below if you have questions or hit that little bell if you want to be notified of future stitch tutorial videos and I do this every week at least I try if I don't get one each week don't get mad at me because life happens right and I love you guys love you thank you guys for watching take care happy crocheting
