Abbreviations: (UK terms) ch = chain, dc = double crochet, ttr = triple treble (wrap yarn over hook 3 times. Go into stitch and pull up a loop. *Yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Repeat from * until 1 loop left.

Special Stitches:

ttr group = 

Start the first triple treble crochet cluster in the next stitch. *Yarn over three times and insert the hook in the stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through the first two loops. Yarn over and draw through the next two loops. Yarn over and draw through the next two loops.* You should now have two loops left on your hook. Repeat from * to * until you have 4 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.

Double ttr group = 

Work a ttr group into the same dc as last group up to the point of having 4 loops on the hook. Don’t pull yarn through these loops. Miss 5 dc. Into next dc make a ttr group until there are 7 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 7 loops.

Chain 26 (or a multiple of 6 + 2) if you want to make your squares bigger or smaller, just remember to crochet more or less rows to make a square!)
