Pattern information

Each of the first 5 rounds is in a different color, at the start of each round join your new color in the place indicated with a sl st. 

Please note this pattern is written for one side of the square, it starts mid corner and works across the side to the next corner.

Each round starts with a set of ch stitches which are the equivalent of the starting stitch, the set of chains are replaced with their equivalent stitch for subsequent sides.
