Or if you're unfamiliar with foundations stitches you can add one more chain and sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each ch across. (21, 27, 36 sts)

Row 2. In the second st from your hook place (hdc, dc) place st marker in skipped ch as it counts as the first sc and you will work the last stitch of the next row into it.

(Row 2 cont.) *{Skip 2 sts, place (sc, hdc, dc) all in next st} repeat from * across the row until you have 2 sts left.

(Row 2 cont.) When you have 2 sts left, sk next st and sc in last st, turn. (22, 28, 37 sts)

Row 3. Ch 1, in same st place (hdc, dc),

(Row 3 cont.) *{Sk next 2 sts, place (sc, hdc, dc) all in next st} Rep from * to last 3 sts at the end of the row, sk next 2 sts, place last sc in ch 1, turn. (22, 28, 37 sts)

Row 4. Ch 1, in same st place (hdc, dc), *{sk next 2 sts, place (sc, hdc, dc) all in next st}, rep from * until last 3 sts at end of row, sk next 2 sts, sc in ch 1, turn. (22, 28, 37 sts)

Rep Row 4 until work measures 5.5”, 7.5" or 9.5".

Ch 1, sc across. Do not finish off.

Single Crochet Border

Ch 1, turn and work along the edge.
Sc evenly down the side until the next corner. Usually 1 sc per row gives a nice straight edge.

At the next corner place a (sc, ch 1, sc) all in the same stitch, turn and work along the next edge.

Sc evenly down the side until the next corner, place a (sc, ch 1, sc) all in the same stitch, turn and work along the next edge.

Repeat all the way around. At the last corner join the last stitch to the first stitch with a sl st.

Pull up a long loop through the last st.

Cut yarn and weave in ends.

To Add a Hanging Loop

To add a loop for hanging, continue from last corner (or join yarn with a sl st to any corner).

Ch 16,

Fold over to make the loop and sl st back to corner st.

This gave me about an 1.5”/3.8cm loop for hanging; you can adjust this to your needs.

Finishing

Pull up a long loop for seaming and cut yarn and weave in ends.
