Circle to square: crochet pattern

Yes! I am going to start with crocheting a circle and to finish as a square  

Start with a magic circle

Chain 3  Then make 15 double crochet

Skip stitch to the top of the chain 3 in the beginning  cut yarn

Add the next colour between any two dc

Chain 3  Make a dc between the next dcs  continue to make chain 1 and dc around and finish with a slip chain on top of the 3rd chain of the first 4 chains at the beginning of the row

Change colour and join yarn on any chain space. We are going to make 3 dc on each of the chain 1 space

 Now we want to make it a square  There are 16 clusters of 3 dc  I am going to create 4 collections as one side of the square 

Start with making a granny corner with (3 dc, chain 3, 3 dc)

If it is a granny square there should be 3 dc clusters between the dc clusters of the previous row    But that will make the height of the stitches different  

So, I worked 3 hdc on the next group 3 sc in the next 

And another 3 hdc next  now we are done one side

Continue with corner and sides to finish off

 

 You can continue the next round by doing all dcs 

With this square, I can make a blanket by continuing with more rows.

I made a small purse with two of the squares.
