Happy Granny square day 2020 !!!

& just because I'm obsessed with duality lately I am presenting you with Yin Yang granny square! :)

You can also get it in pdf form on ravelry and etsy ;)

And as granny square day is one of my favourite holidays (thank god it is on actual holiday this year so I am not lying that much :D) I am sharing my latest square on blog for you all to enjoy!

Abbreviations used (US terms):
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
dc – double crochet
htr – half treble crochet (yarn over 2 times, pull yarn through 3 loops at the end of the stitch)
tr – treble crochet
dtr – double treble crochet

sl st – slip stitch
ch sp – chain space
st(s) – stitch(es)
bl – back loop

Instruction repeats:
[ ... ] - used for small repeats;
* ... * - used for large repeats.

Col – color
A – dark
B – light
C – background

While making YinYang sign we will repeat each of 2 rounds and 3 rows in both colours!
For Yin part start with col B for first round and col A for the rest.
For Yang part start with col A for first round and col B for the rest.

Stitches that attach Yin to Yang (and vice versa) are always worked in back loops.
3 stitches from both circles are joined in the middle on round 2 and additional 10 stitches from one circle are joined with those 3 rows from other side of YinYang.

I advise you to skim through all of the instructions before you start to crochet just so you know what to expect ;)
