Granny Square Afghan 2

 Hooray! I finally have enough squares!! 198!! It looks like just mess. It needs the unity of a joining color. In this case, dark green.
 So, to join the third square, I work the first side same as before, (see granny square afghan post). I insert the hook behind the joining slip stitch, draw up a loop and slip stitch.
 Chain 2 and sc in the same  corner loop of the 3rd square.
 Continue chain 1 slip stitch in loop of the other square, chain 1, sc in next space of square being joined around to corner.
 Chain 2, slip stitch in corner loop of other square, ch 2, sc in se corner space of square being joined.

 Continue working around.
 Join with slip stitch in beginning sc.
 Next square, work first 2 sides the same.
 At the corner where 3 squares are already joined, insert hook in slip stitch from joining the 3rd square, slip stitch to join. Continue as for previous squares.



 Continue joining squares. It will take quite some time.
 When the squares are all joined, I like to put another round on the border. Chain 3, sc in each loop on the sides and sc, chain 5, sc in corners.
At the joining of 2 squares, work a sc, as if there were a space there.
If I didn't explain something well enough, or you have questions, please ask in a comment. I'll try to answer.
