You can continue to add more rounds if you want a larger square motif. To create your runner, blouse, or shawl, make as many of these motifs as you need and join them together as desired. You can connect them by slip stitching or single crocheting along the edges.
Remember to choose yarn and hook size that suit your project, and you can experiment with color combinations to create a beautiful design.
