To start your cro­chet jour­ney, gath­er the mate­ri­als: soft yarn in your cho­sen col­ors, a cro­chet hook that com­ple­ments the yarn weight, and a yarn nee­dle. Begin with a slip­knot and cre­ate a foun­da­tion chain, ensur­ing the desired width for your baby block square. Then, fol­low the sim­ple stitch­es out­lined in the pat­tern, such as the sin­gle and dou­ble cro­chet, to build the square’s foun­da­tion rows.

I cre­at­ed these fun cro­chet baby blocks with medi­um worsted yarn and you can make them with cot­ton yarn. I used a F hook. The squares mea­sure 3 inch­es by 3 inch­es. 

Abbre­vi­a­tions:
ch=chain
sl st=slip stitch
dc=double cro­chet
tr=treble cro­chet

Rnd 1: Cot­ton yarn, F hook. Make 6, you can make cen­ters in dif­fer­ent col­ors. I did two of three dif­fer­ent col­ors of yarn.

In the Mag­ic Cir­cle, Ch 3, work 2 dc, tr, 
*work 3 dc, tr, *Repeat twice, sl st in top of the ch 3.

Rnd 2: Sl st with a new col­or of yarn, Ch 3, *work dc in each dc, work (2 dc, tr, 2 dc in the pre­vi­ous tr to cre­ate a cor­ner), *Repeat, around, sl st on top of the ch 3.

Rnd 3: Sl st with a new col­or of yarn, Ch 3, *work dc in each dc, work (2 dc, tr, 2 dc in the pre­vi­ous tr to cre­ate a cor­ner), *Repeat, around, sl st on top of the ch 3.
