Repeat from * to * 2 times, (ch 3, sc in th next loop) 16 times, ch 3, sc in

the next ch 1, ch 1; join with a hdc in the first sc to form the last corner

loop. (72 loops) Fasten off color C.

Round 19: Attach Color A with a sc in any corner, work 4 more sc in the

same corner, *(2 sc in the next loop) 17 times, 5 sc in the next corner*

Repeat from * to * 2 times, (2 sc in the next loop) 17 times; join with a sl

st to the first sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

These squares should be very close to the size of each of the Irish Rose

squares. If needed, add or subtract rows of loops before row 19 to achieve

correct size.
