Ridge Square


materials:
worsted weight yarn
size "J" hook

notes:
post double crochet (pdc) - this stitch is worked around the post of the next st in prev row - yo, insert before next st, bring up on other side, yo, draw up a loop, complete same as regular dc

- I've found that depending on your yarn and personal crochet style, you may want to put (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in your corners.

Rnd 3: sl st around beg ch of prev row, ch 3, 2 pdc, * (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in corner ch-sp, 3 pdc, rep from * 2x, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in corner ch-sp, join w/ sl st to 3rd beg ch
Rnd 4: sl st around beg ch of prev row, ch 3, * pdc around ea dc to corner, (dc, ch 1, dc) in corner ch-sp, rep from * 3x, pdc around ea dc to beg ch, join w/ sl st to 3rd beg ch
