Patterns and Charts
Main Pattern

Work in rounds according to Chart 1. Repeat the pattern repeat continuously, working the transition between rounds as shown on the chart. Work rounds 1-3 once, then repeat rounds 2 + 3 continuously.

Begin each round with 3 turning chains instead of the first dc, and end with 1 slip stitch into the last starting chain. If needed, move to the start of the next round using additional slip stitches.
Work rounds 1-4 once.

Gauge
19 sts of the starting row x 8.5 rounds = 10 x 10 cm, worked in the main pattern.
Square motif: 7.5 x 7.5 cm.
Note! When crocheting around the ring of squares, the main pattern is gathered and widens as the height increases. On the schematic this is shown as a slant.

Instructions
Crochet 20 (22) squares following the color sequence, and on the wrong side join them with light red yarn using slip stitches into a strip of 2 x 10 (11) squares. Insert the hook only through the front loops. Join the short sides of the strip into a ring as well.
Work 1 round of dc around one edge of the ring of squares with light red yarn, working 20 dc into each square = 200 (220) sts.
Then continue working in the main pattern. After 34 cm from the start of edging (or when the desired length is reached), finish the work.
