need help sewing squares together

[sophy2]

I am making a baby afghan in squares. The corners of each square consist of 4 chain loops. This makes a nice lacy pattern when they are all sewn togther. The instructions just say to sew the squares togther. What is the best way to sew together chains ? I am relatively new to crochet, and I can sew squares togther using front loops or back loops, but I don't know what to do with no loops! Thanks for your help!

I usually put my squares together through the back loop. With 4 chs in each corner I would start in the second ch of one corner and work my way to the second ch of the next corner.

 

Put your squares together in strips-however many wide the afghan is supposed to be, then put the strips together.

That is exactly as I would do it too. If you want to do a different type of joining, you might like to have a look at this one on my web site

It took a bit longer than my usual whipstitching, but it came out so pretty and lacy looking.

 

Good luck!
