Abstract
In this paper, we apply the decoration and decimation transformation to the square-lattice spin-1 model and show that it is equivalent toa checkerboard Ising model with cross and four-spin interactions. Then, the approximate critical condition is obtained for the model and it reduces to Onsager's exact solution in the Ising-model limit.
