Pattern Correction

• In forming leaves and attaching the square framework, ensure your slip stitches are secure and that chain spaces are even—this will help the square lay flat and join nicely to others.
• For Round 3 (Square), each side must total 11 dc (count to avoid mistakes).

Tips

• Use a tapestry needle to neatly weave in all yarn ends for best results and durability.
• Block finished squares with gentle steam and pins for sharp edges and defined corners.
• For easier assembly, ensure all squares are the same size and lay flat before joining.
