Cr9chet block 3. MINI Basket Weave

 The edges might curl. This can be fixed with some steam blocking. It won’t be noticeable after sewing.

· Each square has at least 2 rounds of border. For the last round of the border I used the same color for each square (the dark gray). This is the same color used for the sewing.

· Each square does not need the same number of stitches for the border.

· Make 2 of each square. Alternatively, you can use cotton yarn and make 1 square to use as a dishcloth.
