We present a method for contracting a square-lattice tensor network in two dimensions, based on auxiliary tensors accomplishing successive truncations (renormalization) of 8-index tensors for 2 by 2 plaquettes into 4-index tensors. The scheme is variational, and thus the tensors can be optimized by minimizing the energy. Test results for the quantum phase transition of the transverse-field Ising model confirm that even the smallest possible tensors (two values for each tensor index at each renormalization level) produce much better results than the simple product (mean-field) state.
