Ok, you are tempting me to try yet another thing, and I will, but I have a christening blanket to finish and an afghan for my MIL for xmas. Too many things to try, so little time!

Help! I'm trying this square and the instructions are just not making sense to me. I have gotten to round 5 and am baffled! No matter how I try it, I don't end up with 12 loops, I have either more or less. Can you give a little more detail on this round? Thanks!

On round 5, you are making an extra "loop" in what will be the corners. Try not to over think it.

I guess you mean round 4 since $ shares the 4 on my keyboard.

Fibercat did a tutorial of this square maybe that will help you.
