1.2 Materials Required
To crochet the Fillet Dragonfly Square, you will need the following materials:
- Crochet hook (3.5 millimeters)
- Crochet four-ply yarn
Getting Started
2.1 Making a Slip Knot
Before we dive into the project, let's start by making a slip knot. This will be the foundation for our crochet work. Once you have your slip knot ready, we can move on to the next step.
2.2 Working the Chain
To begin our Fillet Dragonfly Square, we will work a chain of 20 stitches. Hold onto the last stitch next to your hook and work the first double crochet into that stitch. The chain of three that follows will also count as a double crochet. Continue working one double crochet in each stitch of this row until you have 21 stitches in total.
Row 1: Double Crochets
In Row 1, we will focus on creating double crochets. Turn your work and start the row by working two single crochets or chain three, depending on your preference. This will ensure a straight edge. Continue by working one double crochet in each stitch of this row until you have 21 double crochets.
Row 2: Single Crochets
For Row 2, we will switch to single crochets. Again, turn your work and start the row with two single crochets. Continue by working one double crochet in each stitch of this row, resulting in 21 double crochets.
Row 3: Double Crochets, Chain Spaces, and Skipping Stitches
In Row 3, we will incorporate double crochets, chain spaces, and skipping stitches. Turn your work and start the row with two single crochets. Follow the pattern of working one double crochet in the next nine stitches, then chain two and skip a stitch. Work one double crochet in the following stitch and continue this pattern until the end of the row.
Row 4: Double Crochets, Chain Spaces, and Double Crochets in Singles
Row 4 continues the pattern from Row 3. Turn your work and start the row with two single crochets. Work one double crochet in the next four stitches, chain six, skip five stitches, and work one single crochet. Repeat this process, chaining six and skipping five stitches, until the end of the row.
Rows 5-12: Repeat Pattern
From Rows 5 to 12, repeat the pattern established in Rows 3 and 4. Each row will build upon the previous one, creating a beautiful fillet dragonfly square. Make sure to turn your work at the beginning of each row and follow the specified pattern.
Finishing Touches
Once you have completed the desired number of rows, you can finish off your work. Cut the yarn, weave in any loose ends, and shape your fillet dragonfly square. You can use this square as a standalone piece or incorporate it into larger crochet projects.
