Abbreviations:

sp = space
dc shell = 3dc
Foundation Row: ch 5; sl st in 1st ch to form ring.
Row 1: ch3, 2dc in ring, ch2; * 3dc in ring, ch 2*; Repeat from * to * 2 more times. Sl st in top of beg ch.
Row 2: ch3, 2dc in same sp; * 3dc in next ch2 sp, ch2, 3dc in same sp*; Repeat from * to * 2 more times, 3dc in last sp, ch2; sl st in top of beg ch.

Rows 4 & 5: Repeat pattern by making dc shell in each sp, remembering to dc shell twice in corners with ch2 between.
To Finish: Fasten off yarn, weave in all ends.
To Alternate/add colors: Fasten off at the end of each row and attach new color in the corner of the previous row, beginning with ch 3.
Have fun with this pattern...it's a great way to use up leftover yarn that you can't use for anything else...the result is always so fun! Good luck!
(I will be sending a shipment of granny squares to Australia at the end of February, for the Crochet A Rainbow project...if you are interested in sending squares to me to include them in my shipment please send me an email!)
