Finishing Squares Only
DO NOT PRESS. Using yarn needle, sew in ends securely towards centre.
Completing Wrap
DO NOT PRESS. Using yarn needle and yarn tails, with RS facing, holding two squares side-by-side, join using a flat seam (or any preferred joining technique). Wraps are made up of 28 Squares (4 x 7) as per diagram. Each Square should be joined alternately vertical/horizontal to the adjoining Square to give stability. Weave in and hide all ends into centre of Squares.
