It's time to get back to crochet. I'm making a Play rug for a baby so that he/she can lay on it on the floor. This is a reversible afghan and I'll call this Circle Within a Square Reversible afghan. Here is the instructions:

Crochet hook: Boye 6/6-4.25 mm
Plastic needle

R7 TURN with side B up. Ch1, *[Sc nx st up to ch3 sp. Ch3, sc on same sp]*. Rep *[ ]* until beg sc. Sl st on beg sc.
R8 With side B up. Repeat R7. Fasten off.
How to make Side B:
Ch4 and connect to form a ring.
R1 Ch1 (this counts as 1 sc). *[sc on nx st ]*. Rep 11x. Sl st on top of beg ch1.
R2 Ch3 (this counts as 1dc; dc on same sp. *[2dc on nx ch]*. Rep *[ ]*until beg ch3. ATTACH COLOR A (OR YOUR FAVORITE BACKGROUND COLOR). Sl st on top of the first ch3 post.
R3 *[ Ch3, sk1 ch, sc on nx ch]*. Rep*[ ]* 12x. NOTE: 12 CH3 LOOPS MADE. THE 2 END TAILS ARE TUCKED UNDER AS YOU WORK THE CH3 LOOPS. Fasten off leaving 8" tail for finishing. Thread this tail through the plastic (yarn) needle. work the tail through the wrong side stitches making sure it does not show outside by hiding it under dc or sc v bases. Clip the end. NOTE: Side B must be finished (all yarn ends hidden) before it is attached to Side A.
For those who are trying to make this pattern please let me know if the pattern instructions are clear or if there are any errors. I'll be happy to clarify and rewrite to correct them. I'm learning to write pattern instructions
so any positive critique will be appreciated. Thank you. I hope you enjoy making the afghan.
