Weave in all the ends. More rounds can be easily be added using regular granny clusters

NOTE: When joining a new color, sl st in a different chain space than the finishing stitch of the round below. This will keep your square from slanting.

NOTE: Weaving in the end at the each row helps maintain the crispness and cleanliness of the square.

BLOCKING: Soak the finished square for about 10 minutes in cool water and squeeze excess water out gently, do not twist. Lay damp square on a blocking board and stretch to 5 inch width x 5 inch length (or whatever your gauge is). Use blocking pins to hold square in place. Let the square dry completely before removing from board.
