Crochet Celtic Knot Granny Squares

Materials Needed:

Scissors
Darning needle
Crochet hook (4 mm)
Four different colors of #4 weight worsted weight acrylic yarn

Instructions:

Creating the Oval Components:

Start with your first color of yarn.
Create a slip knot and chain 36.
Double crochet (DC) into the fourth chain from the hook.
In the next stitch, make 4 DCs.
DC once into each of the next 16 stitches.
In the next stitch, make another 4 DCs.
DC once into each of the next 14 stitches.
Pull up a loop and tie off, leaving ends for sewing.
Repeat the above steps using the second color of yarn.

Creating the Circle and Joining:

Switch to your third color of yarn.

Create a slip knot and chain 28.
Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
Chain 3 (counts as first DC). DC into the next stitch.
Make 4 DCs into the next stitch.
DC once in each of the next 6 stitches.
Repeat the pattern two more times: "4 DCs in one stitch, 1 DC in the next 6 stitches".
Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain 3 to join.
Tie off, leaving ends long for weaving.

Integrate the oval pieces:

Overlap the ovals and the circle according to the video instructions using the darning needle to sew them together at designated points to form knots and intersections.

Creating a Square Frame:

Switch to your fourth yarn color.

Attach yarn to a corner of the assembled piece.
Chain 3, then work 2 DCs, chain 2, and 2 more DCs in this corner.
Continue around the piece, working DCs in a pattern and creating corners with "2 DCs, chain 2, 2 DCs".
Complete each side of the square by chaining and linking back to the start with a slip stitch.

Final Touch:

Continue to expand the square by adding rows.

Start each row with a chain 3, follow the pattern to lay DCs along the sides, and maintain corner configurations.
Work through several rounds to expand the square until the desired size is reached.
Attach the layers and loops as necessary to maintain the Celtic knot design.
