Introduction

Welcome to this crochet tutorial where I will teach you how to make my Superstar Fillet Square. This pattern is perfect for creating unique and eye-catching crochet projects. In this tutorial, I will guide you through each step, from the basic stitches to transforming a circle into a square. Get your yarn and crochet hook ready, and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's make sure we have all the necessary materials. For this tutorial, you will need yarn and a crochet hook. Make sure to choose a yarn and hook size that suits your preferences and project requirements.

Basic Crochet Stitches

To successfully complete the Superstar Fillet Square, you need to be familiar with a few basic crochet stitches. Let's quickly go over them:

1. Chain Stitch: The chain stitch is the foundation of most crochet projects. It creates a series of interconnected loops that form the basis for other stitches.

2. Slip Stitch: The slip stitch is used to join stitches or move to a different location in your project. It is a simple stitch that creates a smooth and seamless transition.

3. Double Crochet Stitch: The double crochet stitch is taller than the single crochet and creates a looser and more open look. It is commonly used for creating texture and height in crochet projects.

Now that we have covered the basic stitches, let's move on to creating the Superstar Fillet Square.

Making the Circle

Before we can transform the circle into a square, we need to start by creating a circle. There are various methods for starting a circle in crochet, but for this tutorial, we will use the chain 4 method.

To begin, make four chains using your yarn and crochet hook. These chains will act as the starting point for your circle. If you are unfamiliar with how to make chains, refer to my tutorial video linked below for a step-by-step guide.

Once you have created the four chains, you can proceed to the next step.

Transforming the Circle into a Square

Now that we have the circle, it's time to transform it into a square. This process may seem confusing at first, but it's actually quite simple once you understand the pattern.

Row 1: Creating the Square

In Row 1, we will start by creating the foundation of our square. Follow the steps below:

1. Make two double crochet stitches into the chain farthest away from you. These chains will count as a double crochet, so you will have a total of three double crochets in this step.

2. Create three chains to make the first corner of your square.

3. Make three double crochet stitches into the center space to create one side.

4. Create the next corner by making three chains.

5. Make another side by making three double crochet stitches into the next center space.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create the remaining sides of the square.

7. Finally, make the last corner by creating three chains.

8. Slip stitch into the chains at the beginning of the row to complete Row 1.

Congratulations, you have completed Row 1 and started the foundation of your Superstar Fillet Square!

Row 2: Continuing the Square

Now that we have a base, let's continue building the square in Row 2. Follow these steps:

1. Make four chains to start Row 2.

2. Skip the middle stitch of the previous three stitches and make a double crochet into the next stitch. The chain four we made will count as a stitch and a chain.

3. Continue with the pattern: create two double crochet stitches in the corner, followed by three chains to form the new corner. Make two double crochet stitches into the same corner space.

4. Make one double crochet stitch into each stitch along the side, skipping the chain one space. Make sure to maintain the chain one spaces as we move to the corners.

5. Repeat the corner pattern: two double crochet stitches in the corner, followed by three chains, and two double crochet stitches into the same corner space.

6. Continue making double crochet stitches along the side, skipping the chain one spaces.

7. Repeat the corner pattern once again.

8. Finish Row 2 by slip stitching into the chain one space.

Congratulations! You have completed Row 2 and your Superstar Fillet Square is taking shape.

Row 3: Repeating the Pattern

Row 3 follows a similar pattern as Row 2, with slight variations due to the increasing size of the square. Let's dive into the steps:

1. Make four chains to begin Row 3.

2. Skip the previous chain one space and continue making double crochet stitches into each stitch along the side.

3. Create the corners using the same pattern as before: two double crochet stitches, followed by three chains, and two double crochet stitches into the same corner space.

4. Repeat the double crochet pattern along the side, maintaining the chain one spaces.

5. Repeat the corner pattern once again.

6. Continue making double crochet stitches along the side, skipping the chain one spaces.

7. Repeat the corner pattern for the last time in this row.

8. Finish Row 3 by slip stitching into the chain one space.

And there you have it! You can now repeat Row 3 for as long as you desire to achieve your desired square size.
