Crochet Saturday Square

7 Day Sampler Saturday Square by Jeanne Steinhilber
7 Day Sampler Saturday Square by Jeanne Steinhilber

The Crochet Saturday Square is the first motif in the 7 Day Sampler Afghan Stitch Along. This crochet project can be easily completed in just one week.

The Saturday Square features 2 unique textures. The popcorn stitch is done in the round to look like a flowery center.  I also added a cross behind a grouping of stitches that is quite fun to do and looks nice at the end.

When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you have crocheted.  Follow me on Instagram @ jeannestein or on Facebook.  My designs can also be saved in your Ravelry favorites by following me HERE.

    I am stuck going from round 3 to round 4 in the Saturday square. Round 3 ends with 16 dc, therefore 16 stitches to work the next round into. But round 4 requires 24 stitches. The only way I see to have 24 stitches is to use the locking stitch at the top of each pc, which is what the video says to not do. HELP! I am so confused.

    And the video speed is perfect for me. The videos really helped make this whole pattern accessible for me. Thank you.

      Round 3 does have 24 stitches total. There are 16 dc and 8 popcorns. Are you doing a dc and a popcorn in the same stitch, then a dc in the next?

        Hi Jeanne. Yes, I did that.

        Kelly, are you in the stitch social group? If so, could you please post a photo there and I'll see what I can do to help you? Without seeing what's going on, I'm not sure what to say at this point.

        I realized I did not put a dc with every pc. Thanks for prompting me to look again.

    Hello.. The first pattern was explained to fast. Please slow it down. It seems the block is a little difficult viewing. His hands are blocking some of the stitches when starting out on each row. Please show more of the beginning of each row and if you can, show at least half of the row around. Sorry, I am having some difficulty. The sampler looks so beautiful, and I am trying to understand it.

    Thanks Barb

      Thank you for your feedback Barb. I'm unsure how to slow down because I get the counter argument I am going too slow. I cannot seem to find the balance. I'm really sorry. I just cannot seem to find the right medium for speed. It's so frustrating.

        Hello, No problem on the speed. I will just stop it and work from there. I am just having a problem doing the Saturday piece. From row 2, to 3, to 4. I have crocheted a long time, and can't get the number of stitches right. I will try one more time. I am having the same problem Kathy Crawford is having.
        Thanks
        Barb

    I am excited and like this pattern. Yet to try it. I am searching for the cross in the pattern couldn't find it. But may be when I try it I notice it. Thank you for sharing.

      It's the 6th round. To me, it looks like waves instead of x's.
