tightly, and leave a 12-inch tail. (In thediagram below, you can
see where section B attaches to section A. Note also that according

diagram, seam sides and tops together with the 12-inch tails from
the bind-off, or with a completely different color yarn for
contrast, as follows:
Sew A2 side to D1 right side, andA1 left side to D1 top
Rotate work 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then:Sew B2 side to A1
right side, andB1 left side to A1 top
Rotate work 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then:Sew C2 side to B1
right side, andC1 left side to B1 top
Rotate work 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then:Sew D2 side to C1
right side, andD1 left side to C1 top
