notes:

post double crochet (pdc) - this stitch is worked around the post of the next st in prev row - yo, insert before next st, bring up on other side, yo, draw up a loop, complete same as regular dc

- I've found that depending on your yarn and personal crochet style, you may want to put (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in your corners.
