     • Indivisible is a design that is made up of nine squares that are connected to a big one and
            nished off with two sets of borders, if you wish to make a blanket. For the shrug version, you will
          connect the respective corners to sleeves, and add a border to the body section. Each square is
          unique and differs in texture, construction, and stitch pattern. The goal was to use a new
          technique/stitch in every clue to make it challenging, but also fun.
     •    Clues 1-9 are interchangeable. If the instructions are too challenging, you can substitute a square
          with a previous clue at any time.
     •    Please make sure to carefully read every clue’s speci c note before starting each clue.
     •    Because I am a tight crocheter, I highly recommend checking your gauge against mine to ensure
          that you have enough yarn to complete the design and reach the desired measurements.
     •    Gauge is crucial to this project, since most clues use almost all of the yardage given in a skein.
          Please make sure to be on gauge to not run out of yarn.
     •    Each clue’s notes include unblocked and blocked square measurements, as well as gauge details.
          These are mainly for you to keep track of tension while working on your square and to avoid
          running out of yarn. Please adjust your crochet hook size up or down if you signi cantly deviate
          from the speci ed numbers. It is preferable to get a smaller square than a larger one.
     •    Each square is blocked after nishing the clue. You can opt to block everything before
          connecting all the clues. Be advised that Clues 1-9 need to have the same nal dimensions.
     •    The pattern uses 12 colors but can be made with more or fewer, if preferred.
     •    The blanket version used approximately 2024 yds (1851 m) – C1: 169 yds (155 m), C2: 186 yds
          (170 m), C3: 173 yds (158 m), C4: 150 yds (137 m), C5: 186 yds (170 m), C6: 173 yds (158 m), C7:
          165 yds (151 m), C8: 179 yds (164 m), C9: 154 yds (141 m), C10: 167 yds (153 m), C11: 150 yds
          (137 m), and C12: 175 yds (160 m). These yardages only include the amounts used in the clues
          themselves. Extra yardage used as colorwork will be speci ed in the respective clue notes.
     •    The shrug version used approximately 1988 yds (1818 m) – C1: 179 yds (164 m), C2: 184 yds
          (168 m), C3: 177 yds (162 m), C4: 150 yds (137 m), C5: 184 yds (168 m), C6: 182 yds (166 m), C7:
          169 yds (155 m), C8: 181 yds (166 m), C9: 159 yds (145 m), C10: 167 yds (153 m), C11: 142 yds
          (130 m), and C12: 113 yds (103 m).
     •    You can choose to use a ch 2 at the beginning of rows/rounds instead of a chainless starting
          double crochet. The ch 2 at the beginning of rows does NOT count as a stitch throughout the
          pattern unless otherwise indicated. First double crochet will go into stitch containing ch 2.
     •    VERY IMPORTANT: You will need to keep the leftover partial skeins, as you will need some of
          them later in the pattern.
     •    The pattern includes written instructions, as well as charts for each clue.
     •    For instructions on how to work a Magic Ring, check out this video.
• Clue #1 is worked at, back and forth until the desired height is reached. The selectively placed
  double crochets and ch-1 spaces result in a stitch pattern that mimics diamonds.
• This clue is based on a multiple of 8+5 sts and 8 rows.
• Testers’ yardages varied between 131-181 yds (120-166 m).
• Gauge/square dimensions (gauge in clue pattern = 4”; dimension measured along center lines):
    • Unblocked: 16 sts x 9 rows; 13.5” / 34 cm (width) x 12.5” / 32 cm (height).
    • Blocked: 14.5 sts x 7.5 rows; 14.5” / 37 cm (width) x 14.5” / 37 cm (height).

csdc                    Chainless starting double crochet: Pull up a lp to twice its height (approx. same height as
                        dc), twist lp counterclockwise, hold lp in place with index nger, wind hook from front to back
                        (counterclockwise) around extended lp which will create a second (double stranded) lp on
                        hook, yo, pull through one lp, insert hook into same st as initial lp, yo, pull up lp (3 lps on
                        hook), yo, pull through 2 lps, yo, pull through 2 lps.
FDC                     Foundation double crochet: Ch 3, yo, insert hook in 3rd ch from hook, *yo and pull up lp, yo
                        and pull through 1 lp {base ch made}, yo and pull through 2 lps, yo and pull through 2 lps
                        {FDC made}**, yo, insert hook in base ch of prev FDC, rep from * until you have required

• Clue #2 is worked in the round. It will make a square with rounded corners, which will need to be
  blocked into shape. The four puff clusters in the corners form a cross, whereas the puff clusters
  along the sides will be increased by two every other round and ll the triangle spaces between.
• Puff stitches at the beginning of a round will start with a chainless starting double crochet (csdc).
  To complete the puff stitch, follow the instructions of a csdc until you have three loops on the
  hook. Then continue following the instructions of the puff stitch until the end.
• Don’t be alarmed when the center of the square starts bulging at Rounds 2–3. This will resolve
  itself around Rounds 6–7 and completely atten out during blocking. You will need to block this
  square rather aggressively.
• Testers yardages varied between 138–202 yds (126–185 m). This clue will use up almost all of your
  skein, so please make sure to meet gauge and/or aim for a little bit smaller square if necessary.
• Gauge/square dimensions (gauge in clue pattern = 4”; dimension measured along center lines):
  • Unblocked: 4 rnds x 4 rnds; 12” / 30.5 cm (width) x 12” / 30.5 cm (height).
  • Blocked: 4 rnds x 4 rnds; 14.5” / 37 cm (width) x 14.5” / 37 cm (height).

                                                         CLUE #4 NOTES
• Clue #4 is worked at back and forth until desired height is reached. This clue features a chevron
  stitch pattern made up of double crochets, which are interrupted twice by adding two rows of
  single crochet in a contrasting color. The square is nished off by adding a top and bottom
  edging to level the height difference of the chevrons.
• Testers’ yardages varied between 128–188 yds (117–172 m).
• This clue has the tendency to become larger while working it, so please make sure that you’re on
  gauge to avoid having to redo it.
• In this clue, you will add a contrasting color (CC). We opted to use C1. Do NOT cut C4 while
  working with CC, but instead carry it along the edge. CC yardage required: 25 yds (23 m).
• Gauge/square dimensions (gauge in clue pattern = 4”; dimension measured along center lines):
  • Unblocked: 18 sts x 9 rows; 12.5” / 32 cm (width) x 13.5” / 34 cm (height)
  • Blocked: 16 sts x 8 rows; 14.5” / 37 cm (width) x 14.5” / 37 cm (height)

• Clue #5 is worked in the round. In this clue, you will make long chain loops each round, which stay
  unworked until Round 12. Just push the loops to the front of your work, so they don’t get in your
  way. In Round 12, these loops will be interchained/braided along the corners. After the loops
  have been interchained, the clue will remind you of a spiderweb.
• Clusters (CL) at the beginning of a round will start with a chainless starting double crochet (csdc).
  To complete the CL, follow the instructions of a csdc until you have 3 loops on the hook, and then
  continue following the instructions of the CL until the end.
• Rounds which contain working into a round below are highlighted in different colors in the chart
  for clarity.

MCAL clue 5
• Clue #6 is worked in the round, initially forming a circle before increases are added to form a
  square shape. The center features a ower motif from buds to blossom with ower petals. The
  square shape is achieved by working several rounds of the Granny Square stitch.
• Popcorn stitches (PC) at the beginning of a round start with a chainless starting double crochet
  (csdc). To complete the PC, follow the instructions for a csdc (will count as 1 dc). Then continue
  the instructions for the PC by making 3 more dc and nishing the PC.
• For two rounds in this clue, you will work not into the previous round, but the round below that.
  These rounds are highlighted in color (Round 3 & Round 4). Some stitches in Round 5 will also be
  worked into the round below.

                   "The soul may not be destroyed. The soul goes on forever. Like the number pi, it is
                   without cessation or conclusion. Like pi it is a constant. Pi is an irrational number,
                   incapable of being made into a fraction, impossible to divide from itself. So, too, the soul
                   is an irrational, indivisible equation that perfectly expresses one thing: you.” – Joe Hill
