To join your squares, place them with their faces touching each other and single crochet (sc) along the edges. You can do this by working through both loops or simply using the outside loops on each square. If you’re unsure how to do this, watching the video tutorial for this pattern is recommended. We also have a specific article that teaches you how to join squares, if you prefer, you can check it out
