Creating this granny square tablecloth pattern was a labor of love. This yarn is from my sister’s sweet mother-in-law that recently passed away. My sister was cleaning out her things and ran across a bag of yarn, a started project, and a crochet hook.

I loved the colors that she chose to coordinate with each other. I decided to make four crocheted tablecloths, so I wrote down this granny square tablecloth pattern. One for each of my three nieces and one for my nephew in memory of their grandmother. I hope they like it.
Learning How to Crochet
I learned how to make a granny square not to long ago and started making the black and white granny squares into an afghan – here is the link for that first granny square project. Black and White Granny Squares Afghan I had learned the pattern using this great tutorial that is very clear and easy to understand-here is the link to that. The Humble Granny Square

SL ST = Slip Stitch

STs = Stitches
Directions:
Begin by making 5 chains (CH), join with a slip stitch to the 5th chain from hook to form a ring.
Round 1:
For this round, you will be working inside the ring. chain 3 and count this chain 3 as your first DC of this round and throughout the entire pattern. continuing working in the ring, work 2 DC. Then chain 3. 3 DC, CH 3, 3DC, CH3, 3DC, CH3 and join into the top of the beginning chain. This join completes the first shell of the first round. (note, you should have 4 clusters of 3 DC with 4 areas of CH 3 between)
Round 2:
CH 4 (This will count as your first DC plus a 1 CH). Then in the first CH 3 SP, [3 DC, 3 CH, 3 DC and CH 1]. Continue the stitch pattern between the [ ] until the last CH 3 SP. In the last CH 3 SP, work the 3 DC, 3 CH, then work only 2 DC and join with a SL into the 3rd chain of the beginning CH STs. This join will complete the round. (You should have 8 shells, 4 chain 3 spaces, and 4 CH 1 spaces).
Round 3:
CH 3 (Counts as a DC), Insert the hook into the CH 1 SP from the previous row, (Should be right where the previous row ended). YO and work a DC, Insert hook again, YO and DC. (This completes your first 3 DC in the round). CH 1. [In the corner CH 3 SP work (3 DC, 3 CH, 3 DC. and CH 1)]. In the next CH 1 SP work 3 DC and 1 CH]. Repeat between [ ] 3 more times until all 4 sides are complete. After the last DC in the CH 3 space CH 1 and SL ST into the top ST of the first DC of this round. (You should have 12 shells and 12 spaces after the completion of this round).

Continue working round 2 and 3 until your project is the desired size that you wish.
