Instructions

For this pattern rectangle, Please decide if and when to change colors.

I used the cream shade in the first 3 rounds and changed to the navy color for the rest.

Chain 25

Row 1: Dc2 in 4th Ch from hook( forms 1st GRst), Ch1, Skip 2 Ch, GRst in next, skip 2 ch, Grst in next, skip 2 Ch, continue across to end, Dc3 in last st, Ch2, Dc3 in same st, Ch2, Dc3 again in same st, (this forms the rectangle corner), Ch1, now we continue on the same row on the opposite side, GRst in next GRst from the prev row on the opposite side, GRst in next GRst, continue to next corner, skip 2, Dc3 in last Ch (1st Dc3), Ch2, Dc3 in the same spot, Ch2, and Slst to 1st Ch3 from the beginning. (2 corners + 6 X 2 Dc3 clusters)

Now you should have a closed rectangle.

Round 2: Sl st 3 to the near Ch1 space, Ch3 (counts as 1st st), Dc2, Ch1,GRst in next Ch1 space, GRst in next and continue until reach next corner, (Dc3+Ch2+Dc3) in next Ch2 space, Ch1, (Dc3+Ch2+Dc3) in next Ch2 space, Ch1, GRst in next ch1 space and across, finish Slst to 1st Ch1 from the beginning. ( 4 corners + 7 X 2 Dc3 clusters)

Round 3: Sl st 3 to the near Ch1 space, Ch3 (counts as 1st st), Dc2, Ch1, GRst in next Ch1 space, GRst in next and continue until reach next corner, (Dc3+Ch2+Dc3) in next Ch2 space, Ch1, (Dc3+Ch2+Dc3) in next Ch2 space, Ch1, GRst in next ch1 space and across, finish Slst to 1st Ch1 from the beginning. ( 4 corners + 1 Dc3 cluster in between + 8 X 2 Dc3 clusters)

Here I changed colors, so fasten up the yarn and cut.

Rounds 4-9: Introduce new color in a corner Ch3 (counts as 1st st), Dc2 + Ch2 + Dc3 in same Ch2 corner, Ch1, Grst in next Ch1 space, GRst in next and continue until reach next corner, Dc3+Ch2+Dc3 in next Ch2 space, Ch1, GRst in next, and across to next corner, Dc3+Ch2+Dc3 in next Ch2 space, Ch1, GRst in next Ch1 space and across, to next and corner, repeat until you finish the round, finish Slst to 1st Ch1 from the beginning.

If you wish to make a larger piece continue repeating rounds

Round10: Ch3 (counts as 1st st, Dc1 in next 2 Dc from prev round, Dc1 in Ch1 space, *[Dc1 in next 3 dc from prev round, Dc1 in Ch1 space]* repeat from * to* to corner, (Dc3+Ch2+Dc3), continue *to* to next corner and repeat to end of the round, Slst to 1st Ch1 from the beginning

Round 11 (Final Round): Ch1, Sc1 in 1st st, Sc1 in next st and across to the corner, (Sc1+Ch2+Sc1) in the corner, continue Sc1 in every st to next corner and repeat to end of the round, Slst to 1st Ch1 from the beginning

Finishing

Cut yarn and weave in ends, I suggest to hand-wash in room temperature water with fabric soap the item and block it to straighten and have a perfect rectangle.

DONE!!
