I stitched up 2 squares of each of the crochet squares.

Next, I chose the yarn I wanted for my trim 

Scramble in the colorway Rainbow by SUNDANCE.

I ordered 3 balls from Herrschners yarn.

Each ball has 3.5 oz.

I stitched of 6  solid 6 inch squares.

Here is the Link I used: LINK

This Gave Me 30 Squares To Work with.

Step 1 - Video 1 LINK

I randomly arranged the squares in a

 5 X 6 squares pattern.

>>Place the 1st 2 squares together, right sides out.

Join in the yarn, 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.

2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square,

 *ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 1st sq,

2 sc in the next sc of the 1st square,

ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 2nd sq,

2 sc in the next sc of the 2nd square*

Repeat from * to * across

 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.

2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square 

Please remember that one square may have more sts 

the the other, so you may need to sk 1 or 2 more sts to 

make them line up evenly

Repeat At >>  to <<

As you join each square

Once you have 6 squares Join

Repeat 5 Times

Join the 5 sets of 6 squares the same as above

stitching across the rows of 6 squares

Weave in the ends as you go

Now You are Ready For Step 2

September Sapphire Crochet Square Crochet Pattern And Video By Sara Sach

 September Sapphire Crochet Square

Crochet Pattern And Video

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

*********************************

"The primary birthstone for September is Sapphire

The birthstone for September is Sapphire a gemstone that comes in many colors but is most commonly associated with its deep blue hue. 

Sapphires have been valued for thousands of years and are associated with royalty, romance, wisdom, serenity, and focus. They are often used in engagement rings and are believed to bring clarity and inner peace to the wearer. 

I designed This month's Square using yarn from

 Red Heart Super Saver, dark Blue, light Blue and White.

all three are medium (4) weight acrylic yarns.
