You will connect rows in this section. You will need to ch 1 extra at the start of the magic circle to make room for the first dc.

 

R1: (3 dc, 2 ch) four times in magic circle, join at the top of first dc with a sl st. 

Pull hole closed. *The dc’s are the sides of the square, the ch’s are the corners.

 

 R2: Ch 2, turn, dc in the same stitch the chain is in. 5 dc into the corner (the corner being space made by the 2 ch on the previous row). Dc around doing 5 dc in each corner. Join with a sl st in the first dc of the round. 

 

Note: Skip over the original ch 2 and put the sl stitch directly in the first dc to avoid a seam!

 

Optional: For extra pointy corners make the 3^rd dc of the corner a triple crochet stitch (tc)

 

R3: Ch 2, turn, dc in each st across. At each corner do 5 dc in the 3^rd st of the previous row’s 5 dc. R4-13: Repeat R3.
