Tidbits:
I tired the join as you go method for these squares after trying out several others and ending up being completely dissatisfied with them all.
For the border, I decided to single crochet around for about five rows, with different colours .
I just winged the edging . If anyone is interested ,here is what I did ..
*After completing the single crochet round with a slip stitch, Start edging with Ch 1 1 sc, and in the next 2 stitches.1hdc, 1 dc, 1hdc in the next stitch. Then 1 sc into the next 3 stitches…
For the corners Skip one sc, in the next stitch, 3 hdc , ch1 ,3 hdc. Skip one stitch 3 and repeat around .until you reach first Ch 1.Slip st. Fasten off.
( 3 sc,{ (1 hdc 1 dc 1 hdc) in the next stitch} 3sc ) around.
Corners: Skip 1 sc, 3 hdc, Ch1, 3 hdc in next stitch, Skip 1 sc, 3 sc, { (1 hdc 1 dc 1 hdc) in the next stitch} 3sc ) around.
