How to attach blocks (Join as you go method) 

I like to make all blocks up to Rond 5, then ill use this method to join each block as round 6 is being crocheted. You'll need one complete block to start.

• Crochet one side of round 6
• When you get to your first corner DC3 then CH1
• SS into any corner (CH2 space) from block you want to attach to
• Finish final 3DC for that corner
• SS into space between 3DC
• 3DC into next space.
• Repeat until you get to the next corner. 
• Attach this corner the same way as the last
