- To finish off round one, slip stitch (sl st) into the third chain of the initial four chains.
Round 2:
- Chain four (ch 4).
- In the same space as the chain four, place two double crochet (dc).
- Place one double crochet (dc) in the next three stitches.
- Create a corner by working two double crochets (dc), one triple crochet (tr), and two more double crochets (dc) into the same stitch.

Finishing:
