Repeat Round 3 until your square motif reaches the desired size. You can adjust the size by repeating the last round as many times as needed.
Remember to weave in your yarn ends and block your finished square motif if required. You can join multiple motifs to create larger projects like runners, shawls, blouses, or use them individually as napkins. Customize the colors and yarn weight to achieve the stylish look you desire.
