Round 2: Slip stitch across to the next corner chain-2 space. Chain 3 (this counts as the first double crochet). In the same corner space, make 2 double crochet stitches, then chain 2, then make 3 more double crochet stitches. Chain 1, then skip the next 3 stitches. In the next corner chain-2 space, make 3 double crochet stitches, chain 2, and then make 3 more double crochet stitches. Chain 1, skip the next 3 stitches, and repeat this pattern around. Fasten off Color A.

In the same corner space, make 2 double crochet stitches, chain 2, and then make 3 more double crochet stitches. Chain 1, skip the next 3 stitches, then double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Next, work a long front post treble (LFPtr) around the corresponding stitch from 2 rounds below (Round 1) in the 3-stitch group. Double crochet in the same chain-1 space, then chain 1, and skip the next 3 stitches. Repeat this pattern around, then join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.

Round 4: Slip stitch across to the corner chain-2 space. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). In the same corner space, make 2 double crochet stitches, chain 2, and then make 3 more double crochet stitches. Chain 1, skip the next stitch, then double crochet in the next stitch. Skip the next stitch, then repeat this pattern around, joining with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3. Fasten off Color B.
