*Measure your sq and add a round of sc, hdc, or dc. As with any square, your size may vary depending on your tension, choice of yarn and hook size. One of my sqs measured a bit over 11” so I worked a sc, but with the solid color I had to use a dc to get to 12”

If using a hdc or dc, work same as above, ch2 or ch3, but you can use the corners we used throughout pattern.
