This pattern uses US stitch terminology (the same as the EMF workshop teaches).
Stitch Key:
Foundation chain. Work approximately 17 ch - adjust the exact number so you have a chain between 12-13 cm long. Ch 2 more.
Row 1. 1 dc into the third ch from the hook, *dc into next st, repeat from * to end of row, turn. The length of the work should have grown to around 14-15 cm - if it is significantly over or under, undo the row and adjust the number of stitches in the foundation chain, then try again.
Row 2. 2 ch, *dc into next st, repeat from * to end of row, turn.
Rows 3-end. Repeat row 2 until the height of the work is 14-15 cm. You can expect to have approximately 9 rows.
Finishing Fasten off and weave in ends.
The pattern is exactly the same, but your stitches will be smaller and so it will take longer to make a square of the same size. Your foundation chain will be approximately 23 stitches (still 12-13 cm long), and you will work approximately 13 rows (still 14-15cm high).
