Work
the next rounds exactly the same but work the following into each ch1 sp on each
side of square. (Ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1). You can make
your granny square as big as you want by adding rnds. Or you can stop at 6 rnds
to make an afghan out of individual squares. You can also use a different color
yarn for each rnd of a square for a dazzling effect.
