Note:

If you would like your square to be larger just continue with the sequence of one round in dc cl and one round of sc. Each cluster round will add 8 more clusters each round,4 ch 2 spaces and 8 ch 1 spaces each round. Each sc round will add 8 single crochets, 4 ch 2 spaces and 8 ch 1 spaces each round. If you cannot divide your stitch count by 8 each round than make sure to count your stitches to make sure you added the correct amount.
