•  NOTE: This will not always work evenly for each side so just add an additional chain 3 and don’t skip 1 before corner when this happens.

Round 3- Desired border width: SS into the next chain. *(Sc. Chain 3. Sc.) in corner chain 3 space. (Chain 3. Sc in the next chain 3 space.) repeat from ( to )to corner stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a SS to the first Sc made.
