Notes

Use a 4 mm hook unless it says otherwise.

Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.

I used a turning chain of 2 at the start of each row because it gives me straighter edges with the cabling, if you find that your square is cinching on the edges, you may choose to increase to a turning chain of 3.

Pay special attention to when you are working behind your stitches in row 5. If you accidentally work in front the whole time, you will not get the braided look.
