- Round 2: Sl st to the next ch 2 space. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space. *In the next ch 2 space, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc); repeat from * until you reach the starting point. Join with sl st.
- Repeat Round 2 until your squares are approximately 5 inches square. Change colors every 2 rounds for a colorful effect.
- Joining Squares: Lay your squares in a desired pattern. With a new yarn color, use a sl st to crochet the edges of your square together. Place 2 squares with their right sides facing each other, insert your hook through both edges, and chain 1 to join.
