For the border of the square, it is recommended that you go up another hook size from the hook you used for the squares.

Row 1 (first square): Make a Standing SC with your new color of yarn in any corner. Ch 2 and make 1 SC in the same space to form the first corner. Rep *ch 1, 1 SC* around, working in the eyelets or gaps where you think they would naturally fall.

For the corners, make (1 SC, ch 2, 1 SC). Make sure all sides have the same number of stitches. Sl st to join at the end of the row.

Fasten off and cut the yarn. Weave in the ends.

For the JAYG method,

Row 1 (second square): Make a Standing SC with your new color of yarn in any corner. Ch 2 and make 1 SC in the same space to form the first corner. Rep *ch 1, 1 SC* around, working in the eyelets or gaps where you think they would naturally fall. For the corners, make (1 SC, ch 2, 1 SC). To join any side, start a corner by making (1 SC, ch 1) and sl st into the corresponding corner of the first square. Make 1 SC in the second square to complete the corner.
