This is a reversible afghan. For instructions on how to make the squares, please see my older post with the same title. The individual squares are joined together using a yarn plastic needle and using a herring bone joining technique. All yarn ends are tucked (woven) underneath the crochet stitches and worked towards and within side A and B layers. The border is worked in 4 rounds of sc(s), starting with side A up first round, side B up, for second round; Side A up for third round and Side B up for 4th round. Since the border is not worked in a continues fashion, after connecting with sl st (slip stitch) at the end of the round,* I turn the afghan, then ch1, then sc all around and connect with sl st to the beginning ch1. to complete the round*. Then repeat * * the same for remaining rounds. The reason I used this technique is to prevent the crocheted fabric from curling up towards one side of the crocheted fabric (usually the right side, side B).
