To Change Color in dc: Work last st before color change until there are 2 loops left on hook; drop color in use; with next color to be used, yarn over and draw through 2 loops and continue with this color.
SQUARE (Make 24): With CA, ch 5; join with a sl st to form a ring.
Rnd 1: Ch 3, 2 dc in ring, ch 2, [3 dc in ring, ch 2] 3 times; join with a sl st in top of ch-3.
NOTE: Now work in BACK LOOP only of each dc and ch.
Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * 2 dc in first ch, ch 3, 2 dc in next ch **, dc in next 3 dc; rep from * around, end at **; join with a sl st in top of ch 3. Fasten off.
Row 1: With right side facing, attach CB in the 2nd ch of any ch-3; ch 3, dc in next ch, dc in each dc across; dc in next ch, (dc, ch 3, dc) all in next ch, dc in next ch – corner made; dc in each dc across, dc in next 2 ch; turn – 11 dc on both sides.
Row 2: Ch 3, skip first dc, dc in each dc across, work corner, dc in each dc across changing to CC in last dc; turn to work across ends of last 2 rows – 13 dc on both sides.
Row 3: Ch 3, dc in side of dc, dc in next 2 ch of ch-3, dc in next ch of Rnd 2, dc in each dc across, work corner, dc in each dc, across, dc in next ch, 2 dc in side of next dc, dc in next ch of ch-3, skip next ch, dc in next ch; turn – 14 dc on both sides.
Row 4: Rep Row 2 changing to CA in last st – 16 dc on both sides.
Row 5: With CA, ch 3, dc in side of dc, dc in next 2 ch of ch-3, dc in each dc across, work corner, dc in each dc across, 2 dc in side of dc, dc in next ch of ch-3, skip next ch, dc in next ch; turn – 19 dc on both sides.
Row 6: Rep Row 2 changing to CC in last st – 21 dc on both sides.
Row 7: With CC, rep Row 5 – 22 dc on both sides.
Row 8: Rep Row 2 changing to CB in last st – 24 dc on both sides.
Row 9: With CB, rep Row 5 – 27 dc on both sides.
Row 10: Rep Row 2 changing to CC in last st – 29 dc on both sides.
Row 11: With CC, rep Row 5 – 30 dc on both sides.
Row 12: Rep Row 2 – 32 dc on both sides; do not change color on last st. Fasten off.
FINISHING: Sew squares together following diagram.
Border-Rnd 1: With right side facing, join CC in back loop of any dc; ch 3, dc evenly around working in back lps and across rows and working corners as before; join; turn.
Rnds 2 and 3: Ch 3, skip first dc, dc in back loop of each dc around, working corners as before; turn. Fasten off at end of Rnd 3. Weave in ends.
