To Work Front Post Treble (fptrc): yo
twice, insert hook around post of specified dc, complete trc
With color A, ch4; join with a sl st to
form ring
Round 1: Ch3 to count as first
dc; 2dc in ring (ch3, 3dc in ring) 3 times; join with a dc in the top of
beginning ch3 to form last corner loop
Round 2: Ch3 to count as first
dc; (dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 2dc, ch1) all in same corner loop; *(2dc, ch2,
3dc, ch2, 2dc, ch1) in next ch3 corner loop* Repeat from * to* 2 times;
join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3. Fasten off color A
Round 3: Skip first ch2 space;
attach color B with a sl st to next ch2 space; (2dc, ch3, 2dc) in next ch1
sp; sl st in next ch2 sp, ch3, *sl st in next ch2 sp (2dc, ch3, 2dc) in
next ch 1 sp; sl st in next ch2 sp, ch3* Repeat from * to * 2 times; sl st
in the same loop as beginning sl st
Round 4: Ch3 to count as first
dc; 2dc in same loop as sl st; *(3dc, ch3, 3dc) in next ch3 sp; (3dc in
next ch2 sp of round 2) twice* Repeat from * to * 2 times; (3dc, ch3, 3dc)
in next ch3 sp; 3dc in next ch2 sp of round 2; join with a sl st to the
top of beginning ch 3. Fasten off color B.
[Note: the "(3dc in next ch2 sp of
round 2)" groups in this round are worked in the
same loops as, and over top of, the sl sts of Round 3.]
Round 5: Attach color A with a sl
st to any ch3 sp; ch 3 to count as first dc, 2dc in same ch3 sp; *[3dc in
sp between next 3dc group; (dc in next sp between 3dc group, fptrc around
center dc of round 2 directly below sp, dc in same sp as last dc); 3dc in
sp between next 3dc group]; (3dc, ch3, 3dc) in next ch3 sp* Repeat from *
to * 2 times; then from [ to ] once; 3dc in the next ch3 sp; ch 1, join
with a hdc to top of beginning ch3.
Round 6: Ch 3 to count as first
dc, 2 dc in same loop formed by hdc joining of last
round; *(3dc in sp between next 3dc groups) 4 times; (3dc, ch3, 3dc) in
next ch3 space*. Repeat from * to * 2 times; (3dc in sp between next 3 st
group) 4 times; 3dc in same ch3 sp as beginning, ch3, join with a sl st to
top of beginning ch3. Fasten off color A.
Round 7: Attach color B with a sl
st to any ch3 sp, ch3 to count as first dc; 3dc in same sp; *(3dc in sp
between next 3 st group) 5 times; 7 dc in next ch3 sp* Repeat from * to *
2 times; (3dc in sp between next 3 st group) 4 times; 3dc in same ch3 sp
as beginning, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch3. Fasten off color
B.
Round 8: Attach color A with a sl
st to the 4th dc of any corner, ch2 to count as first hdc, work 2 hdc in
same st; skip next 3dc, *(dc in next sp between 3dc groups, fptrc around
center dc of round 6 directly below sp, dc in same sp as last dc) 6 times;
skip next 3dc; 5 hdc in next dc; skip next 3dc* Repeat from * to * 2
times; (dc in next sp between 3dc group, fptrc around center dc of round 6
directly below sp, dc in same sp as last dc) 6 times; skip 3dc; 2 hdc in
the same st as beginning; join with a sl st to top of beginning ch2.
Round 9: (Fudging round!) Check
size of square. If it is 7", eliminate round 9 - 92 sts around. If
you need another 1/2", work round in sc; if you need another inch,
work in dc. Working 3 sts (either sc or dc) in the center hdc of each
corner, sc or dc in every st around - 100 sts around.
