Crochet Wheel Stitch Square - Catherine's Wheel
Video Tutorial: Crochet Wheel Stitch Square - Catherine's Wheel
Written by Teresa Richardson
Joined Stitches - The joined stitches will be done by wrapping the yarn around your hook twice, insert the hook through the stitch, pull the yarn through the stitch, wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops, wrap the yarn over, pull through two loops. Leave the last loop of each stitch on your hook. There will be 5 loops on the hook for the corner joined, 8 loops on the hook for the flat edge joined.
NOTE:
- The wheel stitch with the back post is a heavier stitch using more yarn. It will make a nice and warm afghan.
- The wheel stitch square can be modified and used with double crochet.
- The wheel stitch can be easily modified to use more stitches in each wheel

Teresa please, if you don't mind STOP altering my instructions and renaming my patterns and pretending to make them your own. This is not the first time you have done this. Please show some respect!!!
Thank you so much for posting this beautiful afghan stitch on you tube and sharing it with all of us. It is new to me and I find it breathtakingly gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!
