Crochet a neat Moss Stitch crochet squares that can be used for a patchwork crochet cardigan. The step-by-step instructions cover the materials needed, the basic stitch pattern, and the process to achieve uniform squares. Below is a detailed summary of the video:

Introduction

• The tutorial focuses on crocheting Moss Stitch squares, which are 13 cm x 13 cm in size.
• These squares are used for a patchwork crochet cardigan featured in an upcoming project.
• The instructor showcases finished squares in various colors, suitable for the planned cardigan.

Materials Used

• Yarn: Medium-weight 5-ply cotton blend yarn.
• Hook: A 4 mm crochet hook is used to work with the yarn.

Getting Started

• The instructor begins the process by creating a slip knot and chaining a foundation chain.

• For the Moss Stitch squares, the stitch pattern requires a simple multiple of 2 + 2 chains.

Row-by-Row Instructions

Row 1

1. Begin the row with a specific number of chains (later omitted for general instructions).
2. Insert the hook into a designated chain to make the first single crochet.
3. Follow a pattern of chain-one spaces, skipping stitches, and working single crochet stitches.
4. Continue repeating the sequence until reaching the last stitch on the row.

Row 2

1. Begin with turning the work and chaining two.
2. Single crochets are worked into chain spaces from the previous row, followed by chain-one spaces.
3. The final single crochet for the row is worked into the skipped chain at the end of the row.

Repeating the Pattern

• From Row 3 onwards, the pattern from Row 2 is repeated uniformly.
• Each row alternates between chain-one spaces and single crochets worked into the previous row’s chain spaces.

• The instructor repeats this pattern until 24 rows are completed, resulting in a square of the desired size.

Completing the Square

• After reaching the required number of rows, the yarn is fastened off.
• The yarn tail is woven in using a yarn needle to finish the square neatly.
• The instructor ensures the square measures 13 cm x 13 cm, maintaining uniformity.
