(this completes your last corner.), Turn.
Note: this auto separates the 2nd round into 3 dc groups. 1 dc group in each side loop and 3 dc groups in each end loop. The dc groups on the ends will have a ch 2 space between each group which is the foundation for the corners.

Size and yarn requirements may vary due to choice of yarn and tension.
Suggested color change chart included, this pattern does not mark when to change colors
NOTE: Those with some experience may wish to work this afghan face up if they understand the stitch pattern. I find it easier to hide the joining line if each round is turned. All single crochet rounds are worked on the wrong side, all double crochet rounds on the right side. All color changes are begun with the single crochet row to preserve the appearance of the afghan. You will be able to tell if the double crochet row is worked on the wrong side
Note: this auto separates the 2nd round into 3 dc groups. 1 dc group in each side loop and 3 dc groups in each end loop. The dc groups on the ends will have a ch 2 space between each group which is the foundation for the corners.Rnd 3.

Ending with, sc ch 3, sc in same 2 ch sp, chain 3 join to first sc. Turn
