Materials Used:

• Sport weight yarn, size 2 - fine. I used Alize Bahar mercerised 100% cotton yarn in the colorways 143 (powder pink) and 368 (camel). 7 grams ( 18,5 meters approx.) of yarn needed for this pattern.
• 3.5mm (US size E4) crochet hook.

Start Round 6: ch1, 1sc into same st., ch4, skip next 2 sts, 1sc into next st., 1sc into next ch2 space, ch3,

Drop the loop of the hook, insert hook from front to back into ch6 space of the first square motif’s final round. Pick up the loop and pull it through the ch6 space.
