The Wench's Crafty Corner: Joining Squares Part Three - Join on Two Sides

In reality this isn't any more difficult than the other joins. In past parts to this joining method I have included pictures for each stitch, for this one I will be using less pictures. So from here on I will be showing the picture for the first chain, first 2 DC (the stitches that form the first corner) and the 2dc and 1 chain at the end. In the case of this tutorial there will be 2 sets of pictures, one for each side that is joined.

So lets get started, picture one shows us set up for the next join, as always the first corner of the red square begins with 2 DC chain 1. Now we are onto the 2nd corner which joins at point B on picture 1. Now we are on to the corner in the middle, first we need to join the first chain of this corner on the red square to the green square. Cornflower Blue: how to crochet a heart.

colour in a simple life: Puffed Daisy Hexagon

I'm sorry that it has been a while since my last post, but I've had some technical gremlins here that have kept me off-line! It's been wet, wet, wet here for so long that I've forgotten the last completely dry day we've had – mainly miserable rain, but mixed with some snow for the last few days. Not pleasant to be out in, but the perfect excuse to stay by the fire and crochet! I'm still bobbling along, but the rounds seem to take an age to complete now, so I can only manage one or two rounds at a time... Of course, my itchy fingers have needed something smaller and quicker to create between marathon rounds so some experimenting was in order.
