We all know and love the square granny right? but this is a pentagon granny square beanie pattern that makes it so unique.
I named it ” Not a square” even though it consists of 5 squares and one pentagon granny square to have the “round” shape!
Are we in geometric class here? Got me all confused 🙂

Creative Variations on the Granny Square
The standard granny square might be a square, but the pentagon shape opens doors for exciting design possibilities!
Since a pentagon doesn’t line up perfectly with squares, it’s not ideal for creating large, seamless blankets. However, the pentagon’s unique shape shines in smaller projects. like this beanie pattern and gives it the round shape we need to fit our head.
Imagine a set of vibrant pentagon coasters for your coffee table or a playful pentagon tote bag with a contrasting border.
Pentagons can also be incorporated into amigurumi toys, adding a touch of surprise and dimension.
Do not be afraid to experiment!

Instructions
Make 5 identical squares – alternating colors as you wish
Round 1: Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring). Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), 2 dc into the ring, *[ch 2, 3 dc into the ring]* repeat from * to * 2 more times. Ch 2 and sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join. Pull the magic ring tight or weave in the yarn tail to secure the center.
Round 2: Sl st in the next 2 dc and into the ch-2 corner space. ch 3, dc 2 in the same ch-2 space, ch 2, dc 3 in same ch-2 space, *[ch 1, (dc3+ch2+dc3) in next ch-2 space]* repeat from * to * until you reach the beginning corner, ch1 , sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join.
Round 3: Sl st in the next 2 dc and into the ch-2 corner space. ch 3, dc 2 in the same ch-2 space, ch 2, dc 3 in same ch-2 space, *[ch 1, dc 3 in next ch-1 space, ch1, (dc3+ch2+dc3) in next ch-2 space ]*repeat from * to * until you reach the beginning corner, ch1, sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join.
Round 4: Continue the pattern, increasing the ch-1 spaces between the 3-dc groups by 1 in each round. For example, in Round 4, you would have (dc 3+ ch 2 + dc 3) in the next ch-2 space, ch 1, 3 dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 1, 3 dc in the next ch-1 space repeat from until you reach the beginning corner. After each corner, continue to add ch-1 spaces to separate the 3-dc groups in each side of the square. Secure yarn, cut, and weave in ends
