Step-by-step instructions:
1. Begin by making a chain of 4 stitches and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet) and work 2 double crochets into the ring. Chain 2, then work 3 double crochets into the ring. This completes the first cluster of the granny square.
3. Chain 2, then work another cluster of 3 double crochets into the ring. Chain 2, then work a third cluster of 3 double crochets into the ring. Chain 2, then join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.
4. Change to a new color of yarn and join in any chain-2 corner space. Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet) and work 2 double crochets into the same space. Chain 2, then work 3 double crochets into the same space. This completes the first cluster of the next round.
5. Chain 1, then work a cluster of 3 double crochets into the next chain-2 corner space. Chain 2, then work another cluster of 3 double crochets into the same space. Chain 1, then work a cluster of 3 double crochets into the next chain-2 corner space. Chain 2, then work another cluster of 3 double crochets into the same space. Chain 1, then join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.
6. Repeat step 5 for each additional round, changing colors as desired. Each round will have more chain-1 spaces between the corner clusters than the previous round.
