Directions
Weave 68 squares in color 124 Butterscotch. Weave 36 squares in color 104 Grecian Olive. Weave 36 squares in color N93 Latte.
Total : 140 squaresUse color 601 (Pepper Black) for joining the squares with crochet.
To crochet the border of the squares, start in the corner of a square. Slip stitch to join, chain 3, (skip 4 warp threads and go into the fabric about 2 weft threads, double crochet in that spot). Repeat 8 times on each side of the square. In the corners, chain 3 between the double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to join the first and last stitch, chain one to start a new row. Single crochet around the entire square.
To make the large squares, take four squares of one color and join them using a simple whip stitch in the back loops of the single crochet border.
Make 7 rows of 5 large squares in this pattern:
