Daisy’s Nine Square Crochet Along 2019
Part 12 – Corners
Time to finish this off with some granny stitch corner rectangles and a few rounds all the way around
to bring it all together.
Make 4 rectangles, it’s entirely up to you if you want to do it in one colour or striped.

These rectangles fit in the four corners that remain unfinished. The long side is joined to the side of
your Part 10 squares. With good sides together join through both back loops with a sc, when you
get to the corner: sc through the corner space into the corner of that main square, then flip down the
rectangle and the Part 10 row and work the short edge along the Part 11 hexagon border, again
through both back loops with a sc.
To hold it all together and give a clean edge we are going to go all the way around the blanket at
least four times
Round 1 – dc in each stitch around, (dc2 ch2 dc2) into the corners
Round 2 – hdc in each stitch around, (hdc2 ch2 hdc2) into the corners
Round 3 – bpdc around each stitch, (dc2 ch2 dc2) into the corners
Round 4 – sc in each stitch around (sc2 ch2 sc2) into the corners
You can do more rounds if you would like to, but the blanket is quite a beast to manage now as is.
