Continue / Repeat
Repeat the last round until the square measures approximately 56″ . Fasten off.
Assembly and Finishing
After your square reaches the stated measurement, fasten off your yarn neatly. Weave in any loose ends to ensure a clean finish.
Practical Tips
- Choosing the right hook: Ensure your hook size allows you to maintain a loose enough tension for the yarn to drape nicely.
- Color variations: Consider adding different shades, either in the same color family or opting for contrasting colors to create a unique effect.
- Using stitch markers: Place stitch markers at critical points, especially at the beginning of rounds, to help you keep track as you work.
Troubleshooting
- Uneven squares: Ensure you’re maintaining a consistent tension throughout. If the stitches are too tight, your square will bow.
- Gaps between stitches: This can happen if you skip a stitch or chain. Check your counts as you go and refer back to the stitch counts indicated.
