Stitching Instructions for Making the Granny Square Gloves Pattern:

Round 1 (R1):
- Ch4, join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring.
- Ch3 (counts as the first dc), 2dc into the ring, ch2. (Corner 1 created)
- (3dc, ch2) 3 more times into the ring, creating the remaining 3 corners.
- Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
- Sl st into the first ch2 corner space.
- Fasten off and turn your work over.
- You now have a small square with four clusters of 3dc and 4 ch2 spaces (one at each corner).
Round 2 (R2):
- Join the yarn in any ch2 corner space, ch3 (counts as the first dc).
- (2dc, ch2, 3dc) in the same ch2 corner space. (Corner made)
- In the next 3 ch2 spaces, work (3dc, ch2, 3dc).
- Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
- Sl st into the next ch2 space.
- Fasten off and turn.
- You now have a larger square with 8 clusters of 3dc separated by ch2 corners.
Round 3 (R3):
- Join the yarn in any ch2 corner space, ch3.
- (2dc, ch2, 3dc) in the same ch2 corner space. (Corner made)
- 3dc in the next space between corner clusters. (This is the first side cluster.)
- Repeat the pattern: (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each corner, and 3dc in each side space between corners.
- Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
- Sl st into the next ch2 space.
- Fasten off and turn.
- At this point, your square should have 4 corners and 4 side clusters.

Repeat the same pattern, increasing the number of 3dc clusters on the sides as the square grows:
- Work (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each ch2 corner space.
- Work 3dc in each space along the sides between corners.
The number of side clusters will increase with each round:
- Round 4: 2 clusters per side.
- Round 5: 3 clusters per side.
- Round 6: 4 clusters per side, and so on.
After the last round, do not fasten off immediately; check the size by folding the square.

If the square feels slightly too small, you can crochet one additional round.
To fine-tune the size, consider adding a single round of sc or hdc around the edges, working 2 stitches per side cluster and 3 stitches into each corner ch2 space.

Fold the Granny Square:
- Fold each completed square in half with the wrong side facing out.
- Ensure the corners align neatly along the edges.
Seam the Edges:
- Using the long yarn tail or a new piece of yarn, seam the edges together using a whip stitch or slip stitch:
  - Seam the top edge for about 2 inches from the fold downward (this will close the glove’s top).
  - Leave a 2-inch gap for the thumb opening.
  - Seam the remaining bottom edge upward for about 2.25 inches.
Finishing Touches:
- Weave in all loose ends using the tapestry needle.
- Turn the glove right side out.
Repeat: Follow the same steps to create and seam the second glove.
