Materials:
Worsted Weight yarn (I used Red Heart in 3 colors I had laying around)
Size G Hook
Yarn Needle
Abbreviations:
Color A – player one color
Color B – player two color
Color C – the border color ( I used a variegated that combined colors A and B)
Ch – Chain
Sc – Single chain
Board (just using colors A and B):
With color A, chain 9, SC in 2nd chain from hook and across (8 stitches). (Ch 1, turn, sc across) 6 times.
*Change color. (ch 1, turn, sc across) 8 times. Repeat from * 6 times. End with 8 blocks of alternating colors. Four blocks of color A and four of color B, starting with A and ending with B. You can either carry the strands of color up along the side of the strip or you can cut and rejoin. Either way, seaming and adding the border should cover up the extra strands.
Make eight of these strips. Seam them together, laying them beside each other and alternating their directions.
Diagram on how to line up and seam together board strips.
After board is sewn together, attach border color to the beginning of an edge.
* Sc 64 stitches evenly across edge. Sc, Ch 2, Sc in corner. Repeat from * 3 more times. Join to 1st Sc with a slip stitch.
(Ch 1, *SC to corner space. Sc, ch 2, sc in corner ch 2 space. Repeat from * to complete round. Join to first Sc with a slip stitch) Repeat 2 more times to complete border. Fasten off.
