I have been trying to teach my mom this wonderful and well known method of making a square, so I decided to write it out and chart it.

For your dollar you get the written instructions and a computer generated chart, and I am compensated for the time and skill and software it took to produce them. Mom gets it all for free :)

I made a video too. You are welcome to check it out - at your own risk! ha ha! - disclaimer: This is is my first time making a crochet video, the focus is kind of fuzzy. It is in three chapters because of the time limit on flickr.
chapter 1
chapter 2
chapter 3

This pattern works with any yarn. I like it for washcloths, blankets and wristies too! It also looks great done in scblo (single crochet in the back loop only)
The orange square shows some of my play with sc,ch1 mesh and a reverse sc,ch2 edge.
