Bi-Color squares.
with 1st color ch 4, sl st into first ch to form a ring.
Round 1: ch 3, 2 dc in ring, ch 1, 3 dc changing color on the 3rd dc. with new color on ch 1, 3dc, ch 1, 3dc join to 3rd ch of beg. ch. Turn.

Round 2: sl st in ch 1 space, ch 3, 2dc, ch 1 , in same space. in next ch 1 space 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc in next ch 1 space changing color to the 1st color used in the 3rd dc. Ch 1, 3dc, ch 1 in same space as color change. 3 dc, ch 1, 3dc in next ch 1 sp. finish with 3dc in same space as the beginning 3dc, sc into 3rd ch of beg. ch 3. finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.


To measure the tail for sewing I wrap the yarn around the square top to bottom twice and cut an inch above the square. Use this tail to sew the squares together in a row. It cuts down on the amount of tails to weave in :)



Sew together in BLO to get that quilted look.
