Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Flower 1 - work all 3 rounds, Flowers 2-4 - work only 2 rounds.
2. Make sure your slip stitches to join flowers are neither too tight nor too loose - this helps maintain an even appearance across your squares.
3. Work your edging in the same color as your border for a cohesive look.
4. Take care to skip stitches as indicated - this helps maintain the correct stitch count and keeps your edges flat.

Finishing Tips

After joining and edging, lightly block your completed square if desired to even out the shape and settle the stitches. Weave in any remaining ends neatly on the wrong side. If you plan to assemble multiple squares into a larger project, lay them out first to plan color placement and orientation.
