A Tunisian Crochet pattern
I used less than 1 skein Cotton Maid Cotton 8 (DK weight) and a 10" Tunisian size H hook. My finished square is about 9.5". Your square will be bigger (about 12") if you use worsted weight yarn. I would suggest a 12" or 14" I hook with worsted.
Special stitch: Tss2tog: Insert hook under front of next two vertical loops. YO, draw loop through both sts.
Foundation Row: Ch 41 loosely. Insert hook in 2nd ch from hook, YO, draw up a loop. Repeat in each ch across, leaving all loops on hook (41 loops on hook).
Return Pass: YO, draw through one loop on hook. *YO, draw through 2 loops on hook.* Rep * to * until only 1 loop remains on hook.
NOTE: Repeat Return Pass after each row.
Row 1: Tss in next 5 sts. * (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. Tss in next 4 sts. * Rep * to * 3 more times, working last Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.
Return Pass
Row 2: Tss in next 6 sts. * (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. Tss in next 4 sts. * Rep * to * 2 more times. (Tss2tog, ch1) twice. Tss in next 3 sts, working last Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.
Return Pass
Row 3: Tss2tog, ch 1 once. * Tss in next 4 sts. (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. * Rep * to * 3 more times. Tss in next 2 sts, working last Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.
Return Pass
Row 4: Tss in next st. Tss2tog, ch 1 once. * Tss in next 4 sts. (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. * Rep * to * 3 more times. Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.

Return Pass
Row 7: Tss in next 2 sts. * (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. Tss in next 4 sts. * Rep * to * 3 more times. Tss in next 3 sts, working last Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.
Return Pass
Row 8: Tss in next 3 sts. * (Tss2tog, ch 1) twice. Tss in next 4 sts. * Rep * to * 3 more times. Tss in next 2 sts, working last Tss through outer 2 strands of vertical loop at the end.

Here is a rough diagram of the stitch pattern.

Row 10 - 28: Repeat rows 1-9 twice, then repeat row 1 once. After the last return pass, you can finish off by cutting the yarn and pulling it through the last stitch, but for a fuller, neater edge, make a finishing row as follows.
Finishing Row: With last loop of last return pass still on hook, *insert hook into next stitch, YO, draw through 2 loops*. Repeat from * to * to end. Fasten off remaining loop.
I added 2 rounds of sc around my square (1st round had 40 sc on each side with 3 sc in each corner).
