Rounds 7 to ?
Depending how big you need your square,
continue as for round 6. You will have 4 extra tr
along each side each round you do.
Border Round
Ch 1, dc in 2 ch space, *dc in each st along side,** 3 dc in 2 ch space* repeat
from * to * twice and from * to ** once, 2 dc in same 2 ch space as first dc, join
with ss to first dc. Fasten of yarn and weave in ends. Block. The pic bottom right
is the same square as bottom left - it's just been blocked. Neat huh?
{same number as your last round of tr x dc along each side, 3 dc in each corner}
