            2. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 dc into the ring. Ch 2, work 3 dc into the ring<\/em>. Repeat from * to * two more times. Ch 2, join with a sl st to the top of the beginning Ch 3.\n
                \n
              • [4 groups of 3 dc]<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 5: Finishing Touches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Once your square reaches the desired size, fasten off and weave in all ends securely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Blocking:<\/strong> Blocking is optional but highly recommended. It will help to even out the stitches and give your square a professional, finished look. Gently wet or steam the finished piece and lay it flat to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
