If your using chains
I recommend 2 not one
You also go in every gap there

I can send pics if needed

I recommend 2 ch in the corners, one for the middle gaps.

The pattern seems pretty normal to me! maybe just make sure your chains are consistent.
you can also try to do ch2 instead of ch3 to test that out and see what works best for you!

Total? 12 double crochets, but your only inserting stitches into the chain 2/3. The double crochets inserted into the magic ring are clusters, so you don’t insert stitches into those!

Try watching a YouTube tut. Once you get the hang of it it’s super easy

Ok my granny square is :

  1. MR with 16 DC. Join with slSt to 1st DC.
  2. Ch2(counts as 1st DC) 3 DC in same st as ch2. Then Ch2, skip 4 DC, then 4 DC next st., ch2 three times. Join at top of first ch2.( This just made the square.
  3. In each ch2 space work 4 DC, in middle of 4DC work 4 DC ch2, 4DC ch2 in same stitch.
    Just keep following the above if Ch2 space put 4 DC, ch2. At the corner do the 4dc ch2 4dc. Until you get it as big as you want.

fyi, you have to quote the comments, copying the link to them does not notify the person…
