Notes: The square is worked in the round; join each round with sl st to beg ch-3 sp.
Ch-3 at beg of each rnd counts as dc.

Joining the squares
Join the squares in a 5 x 5 formation.
First join all the horizontal rows, and then all the vertical rows. Join the squares from right to left.
Begin at the top right-hand corner. Place squares RS together. Make 2 sc in ch-3 sp and slip stitch them
together using the outside loops. When you reach the left corner of the squares make 2 sc in ch-3 sp, take the
second pair of squares, lean them against the first two squares. Keeping them close together, make 2 sc in
ch-3 sp, then continue to join each stitch together. Join all five pairs of squares. When you reach the left-hand
corner of the last square make 2 sc in ch-3 sp. Fasten off.
Join the vertical rows in the same way. When you reach the joint of two squares make 2 sc in ch sp before the
joint, ch-1, 2 sc after the joint and continue joining the squares in the same way you joined horizontal squares.
