    I’m confused why you said you already chained 1 at the very beginning when chaining 3 after the magic circle… I’m a beginner so sometimes the terms confuse me, but I didn’t see you chain 1, so it looks like you’ve only chained 2. Now i’m confused on if i’m chaining 3 after the magic ring or if the end of the magic ring counts as 1 chain so then you only do 2 more… Someone help! 😅

  • @CJDesignblog

    I'm sure it is! In the extra space you can do the 2 sc instead of 2 hdc sc, sc 2 hdc. I would do 2 hdc (in one space), 2 sc (in the next space) and 2 hdc and in the next space. Only for one group of stitches, that way you use the extra space you have. It might look funny for the first wound of the square, but the second round should make it look better. Try and let me know! I hope it makes sense :)

    I completed all my squares and now I'm ready to connect them but I'm struggling to follow along with your video. I feel as though you didn't demonstrate how to connect the squares once you get to the end of the square. You only demonstrate the first two squares and then you jumped to all of your squares being connected. For me it's very confusing and I want to learn the correct way. I've reread your instructions but it's still very unclear and I learn by watching. Can you or someone please give me some pointers in connecting my squares. Thank you
