18 double crochets in width and 10 ½ rows in height = 10 x 10 cm = 4″ x 4″.

Instructions

At the beginning of each double crochet round, work 3 chain stitches; these 3 chain stitches replace the first treble crochet, i.e. skip the first treble crochet from the previous round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the third chain stitch from the beginning of the round.

At the beginning of each single crochet round, work 1 chain stitch that replaces the first single crochet, ie skip the first single crochet from the previous round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round.

The piece is worked in the round, from the bottom up.
