- Optional needle for weaving in yarn ends.
Making the Granny Square
Round 1: Creating the Center
- Use the magic ring technique to start the granny square.
- Work double crochet clusters and chain spaces to form the first round.
- The first round creates a square with 4 “blocks” and 3 completed spaces.
- Pull the yarn end to close the center tightly, ensuring a neat appearance.
Round 2: Adding the Second Color
- Change to the next yarn color (white in the tutorial) and begin in any corner space.
- Work additional double crochet clusters in the corner spaces to expand the square.
- Follow the pattern with additional double crochet clusters and chain spaces to maintain the granny square structure.
Round 3: Adding the Final Color
- Switch to the third yarn color (purple in the tutorial).
- Continue the granny square pattern, working double crochet clusters in the spaces and corners.
- Complete the square by joining the rounds with slip stitches.
Creating the Rings for the Rings
- Attach yarn to one corner of the granny square to begin the first chain.
- Create the foundation chain (e.g., 13 chains for the tutorial).
- Attach the chain to the opposite corner and test the fit around your finger.
- Repeat the process for the second chain, attaching it to the other two opposite corners.
Finishing the Jewelry
- Using scissors, trim any excess yarn after making knots for security.
- Hide the yarn ends by weaving them through the back of the granny square.
- Ensure all ends are neatly tucked in to create a clean and professional finish.
