Pattern Details
c2c stitch (Corner to Corner): This stitch is made by starting in one corner (the bottom right corner or row 1) of a square graph and following the graph diagonally to the opposite square of the graph (ending in row 99).
Rows 1-50: In these rows, you will increase the squares at the beginning of each row.
Rows 50-99: The last half of the graph is worked by making a decrease at the end of each row.
Changing colors: This is the trickiest part of the pattern. When the pattern changes colors, simply pull the new color yarn when you make the slip stitch as you finish the previous square. Don’t cut the old color if you are not finished with it. Simply leave the yarn hanging until you come back to it in the next row. Fasten of the color only when the color is done in the graph. Tuck all the ends in. When I start a new color, after I pull it through the slip stitch, I make a small knott to secure it in place and then tuck in the end.
Written instructions:
L: Lapis
SF: Soft Fern
F: Fern
E: Ebony

Row 1: In L, chain 6. Make a DC (Double Crochet) in the 4th chain from the hook. Then do one DC in each of the remaining 2 chains.
Row 2: In L, chain 6 (this chain is where the increase happens). Make a DC in the 4th chain from the hook. DC in last two chains. Turn your work (flip the first square). Slip stitch to join the chain 3 spaces from the first square. Chain 3. Make 3 DC in the space made by the 3 chain.
Row 3-23: Continue chaining 6 and DC in the 4th chain from the hook and the next 2 chains. Turn slip stitch to join the space made by the chain and the last square. All these rows are in L.

Row 51: Here is where we start decreasing at the beginning of each row. After you have done the last slip stitch on row 50 to connect the last two squares, turn you work over. Make a slip stitch from where you are to the 3 DC. Make the Slip stitch loose so you don’t tighten the square. It may look weird, but you will hide this Slip stitch when you make the border. You will do this at the beginning of rows 51 through 99. 7L, 15 SF, 6 E, 2 R, 2 E, 3 R, 2 E, 1 R, 1 E, 10 L

Border: In R, I did a single crochet (SC) around. I make 2 SC per square and 2 SC in the corners. In SF I did a row of DC doing 2 DC in to corner stitches twice. I finished with a row of SC in R.
