Red Eye Crochet Granny Square

"This is the last of four 5 inch squares I made as homework for a crochet retreat. It does have more ends to weave in, but it is still fun to make and goes quickly. You may be surprised to know, those raised blue lines are NOT post stitches. How do they work then? Read on and find out!"

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

Crochet Gauge13 dc x 7 rows = 4" square. The actual square is small enough and works up quickly enough, that there's no reason to do a separate gauge swatch. The finished square should be 5 inches.
