After seeing how complicated the Lion Brand pattern for Tic Tac Toe boards was, and looking at what some of the other people on Ravelry had done to improvise, I decided to go my own way.

The board: Ch 35, sc in second ch from hook and each chain across. Ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across. Repeat until the board is approximately 10” x 10”. Using contrasting color, evenly stitch lines to make the squares. Join two stitches from a corner, sc across to corner, sc 3 in corner sc, repeat for each side, joining with a slst to first sc.

The X: Ch 10, sc in second ch from hook and across to end. Ch 1, turn, sc across, finish off. (Make Ten) Weave in ends, sew into X shape.

The O: Ch 10, join to first ch with slst. Ch 1, sc 20 into loop, join to first sc with slst. Ch 1, hdc 10, 2hdc in next sc, hdc 9, join with slst to first hdc. Finish off, weave in ends.
