Crochet square isn't even

[Mcmishmash]

Hi!

 

I'm trying to make a square that's made up of two different colors but no matter what I do, the sides are not the same....it looks like a stretched diamond ????

 

I've tried changing my tension, the hook, I triple count my stitches, I've checked the pattern countless times but it keeps happening! Help!

Welcome to the ville!

 

What is the name and location of the pattern?

I've attached a picture of the pattern. Hope that helps? It's Australian superfine merino by cleakheaton babys triangle rug. Thanks!

Looks like the one, correct? I would bet the problem is that your stitches are too tall. It could be that your stitch gauge does not match the pattern's gauge. Or it could be that the pattern is in UK/Australian terms, where a triple crochet is what we in the US call a double crochet....if the pattern says UK triple crochet stitches but you did US triples, those would be too tall.

 

If you can post a photo of your square, that would help with more specific suggestions.

AHA! I was doing exactly that! I was doing treble instead of double!!! Thank you thank you!

You're welcome . It gets confusing with the two different naming systems.
