Round 4: Using beige yarn, work a standing tr st into any gap between yellow tr clusters.

Work 2 more tr sts to make a group of 3, the difference with the previous round is that you nish eahc st so you only have one st left on the hook.

Dc 3 into the two spaces, the tr 3, ch 1, tr 3 into the next space to make a corner, continuing in the same way ( see photos below) to complete the round, ch 1 and sl st to join.

When you fasten off make sure you leave an approximately 25 cm/10 inch tail of yarn to use for sewing the squares together.
