Step: 8

Rnd 5: Join CA in any ch-2 sp; ch 1, * sc in ch-2 sp, ch 2, dc over next sl st in sc of Rnd 3, ch 2, (dc, ch 3, dc) all in next sp, ch 2, dc over next sl st in sc of Rnd 3, ch 2; rep from * around; join; TURN.

Step: 9

Rnd 6: Ch 1, * [2 sc in next sp, ch 1, skip next st] twice, (2sc, ch 2, 2 sc) all in corner ch-3 sp **, [ch 1, skip next st, 2 sc in next sp] twice, ch 1; rep from * to last 2 sps, end at **; [ch 1, 2 sc in next sp] twice, ch 1; skip next st; join. Fasten off.

Step: 10

Rnd 7: With right side facing, join CB in the first ch-1 sp AFTER any corner; ch 1, sc in same sp, [ch 2, skip 2 sc, sc in next ch-1 sp] 4 times, * ch 2, (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner sp **, [ch 2, skip 2 sc, sc in next sp] 5 times; rep from * around, end at **; ch 2; join. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Step: 11

SQUARE 2 (Make 38): Work same as Square 1 except work Rnds 3 and 4 with CC.

Step: 12

FINISHING: Sew 7 x 9 squares together, alternating Squares 1 and 2.

Step: 13

Border-Rnd 1: With right side facing, join CB in any corner sp; ch 1 *** (sc ch 3, sc) all in corner, * [sc in next sc, 2 sc in next ch-2 sp] 6 times, sc in next sc **, sc in sp, hdc in seam, sc in sp; rep from * to next corner, end at **; rep from *** around, end at **; join; TURN.

Step: 14

Rnd 2: Ch 1, * sc in sc, ch 1, skip next st; rep from * to corner; (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner sp, ch 1, skip next sc; rep from * around; join. Fasten off.

Step: 15

Rnd 3: With right side facing, join CE in any ch-1 sp; ch 1, * sc in sp, ch 1, skip next sc; rep from * to corner; (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner sp, ch 1, skip next sc; rep from * around; join. Fasten off.

Step: 16

Rnd 4: Join CB in any ch-1 sp; ch 3, dc in same sp, * 2 dc in next ch-1 sp; rep from * to corner; (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) all in corner sp; rep from * around; join to top of ch-3. Fasten off. TURN.

Step: 17

Rnd 5: With wrong side facing, join CC between 2 dc above an sc of Rnd 3; ch 1, sc in same sp, * ch 1, skip 2 dc, sc between next 2 dc; rep from * to corner; ch 1, ([sc, ch 2] 3 times, sc) all in corner sp; rep from * around; ch 1; join; TURN.

Step: 18

Rnd 6: Ch 1, sc in next ch-1 sp, * ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next sp; rep from * to corner; ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next ch-2 sp, ch 1, skip next sc, (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner ch-2 sp, ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next ch-2 sp; rep from * around; ch 1, skip last sc; join; sl st in next ch-1 sp.

Step: 19

Rnd 7: * Ch 2, skip next sc, sl st in next ch-1 sp; rep from * to corner; ch 2, skip next sc, (sl st, ch 3, sl st) all in corner ch-3 sp; rep from * around; ch 2, skip last sc, sl st in ending sl st of Rnd 6. Fasten off.

Step: 20

Rnd 8: Join CA in any ch-2 sp; ch 4, dc in next ch-2 sp, * ch 1, dc in next ch-2 sp; rep from * to corner; ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, dc, ch 1, dc) all in corner ch-3 sp; rep from * around; ch 1, join to 3rd ch of ch-4; TURN.

Step: 21

Rnd 9: With wrong side facing, ch 1, sc in next ch-1 sp, * ch 1, skip next dc, sc in next ch-1 sp; rep from * to corner; ch 1, skip next dc, (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner ch-2 sp; rep from * around; ch 1, skip last dc; join; TURN; sl st in next ch-1 sp.

Step: 22

Rnd 10: Rep Rnd 7 ending with sl st in ending sl st of Rnd 9.

Step: 23

Weave in ends.
