Round 1:

• Start with a slip knot on your hook.
• Chain 6 (ch 6).
• Join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
• Chain 3 (this counts as the first treble crochet/double crochet).
• Work 2 treble crochets (or double crochets for US terminology) into the center of the ring.
• Chain 2 to form the first corner.
• (Work 3 treble/double crochets into the center of the ring, chain 2). Repeat - four times. You will have 5 clusters of 3 stitches and 5 chain-2 spaces (corners) in total.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.

Finishing:

• Sew in all the loose ends on the back of your work.
• Optionally, you can block your Granny Star to better define its shape. This involves pinning it to a heat-resistant surface and applying steam from an iron (not touching the yarn with the iron) and letting it dry.
