- You do not need to cut your yarn when switching colors just carry them up as you go.
- I found making a chain stitch at the end of the row really helpful for not loosing stitches. That chain 1 never counts as a stitch but it starts the new row.
At the end of row 17 cut the yarn you are not using for the edging and finish it off.
Edging
Rows 1 and 2: With color A, do not turn, ch 1, 2 sc in the corner st, {make 1 sc in each row, make 3 sc in the corner st, sc in each st} repeat {to}, sc in the first corner st, sl st in first st. Finish off at the end of row 2.
Weave in all of your ends.
