Row 7: (WS) Repeat Row 5

Row 8: (WS) Repeat Row 6

(Repeat rows 5-8) 8x, ending with a Final Row 7 from below.

Final Row 7: Repeat as for Row 5 but start with a ch5 (this is a hdc + ch3) and change your dc’s to hdc’s so they leave a smaller opening at the top.

EDGING:

Top Edge: ch1, turn, sc in the first hdc, (2sc in ch-3 sp, sc in each dc) across to the turning ch5, 2sc in the ch-3 sp, sc in the 2^nd ch from the ch-5. Ch2. (40sc)

Turn so you are now working on the row ends of the square.

First Side Edge: sc in the same sp as the last sc, sc once around the first row end, (skip the post, 2sc around the next row end) repeat until the last row end before the bottom, place one sc in the last row end, sc in the corner, ch2 (40sc)

Turn so you are working on the bottom foundation chain of the square.

Bottom Edge: sc in the same sp as the last sc, {sc around the skipped ch from the foundation ch, sk the next ch (this has been worked with the second color), sc around the skipped ch, sc in the next 2dc,} repeat across- this will bring you to the last skipped chain and the turning chain- sc around the skipped chain, skip the worked chain, and sc around the turning ch, remember the turning ch also includes the first dc of the foundation, so find the second ch from the last worked ch that you skipped over and put a sc in that ch, ch2 (40sc)

Turn so you are working the second set of row ends on the square.

Second Side Edge: Repeat as for the first side, end with a sc in the same sp as the first sc, ch2 and join. (40sc)

Cut and finish off.

Tuck your ends in and you’re done with your square!
