Shape square corners
Corner groups redirect the edge and add the growth required by the pattern. Keep corner spaces distinct from ordinary side spaces.

Before you start
Confirm whether the instructions use US or UK terms. On a smooth-yarn sample, mark the first and last stitch and note whether the turning chain counts.
Try this example
Mark all four corners before a round. Work the specified corner group only there, then compare opposing side counts; an accidental side corner creates a fifth turning point.
Check your result
- Count stitch tops separately from chain spaces and compare successive row or round totals. Lay the sample down without stretching it to inspect the shape.
- A symbol or familiar stitch name does not supply a complete construction. Use the project’s own counts, turning rules and joining instructions.
