Steps

  1. Lay your finished squares right side up on a flat table. Arrange them in the order and layout you want, with the rose faces all facing you.

  2. Thread a yarn needle with a length of yarn about twice the length of the seam. Knot the end so it will not pull through.

  3. Place two squares side by side, right sides up, and line up the edge stitches. Hold them together with your fingers or a clip.

  4. Bring the needle up through the first edge stitch of the left square, then down through the matching stitch of the right square.

  5. Work stitch by stitch along the whole edge, keeping your tension even so the seam does not pucker.

  6. At the end of the edge, make a small back stitch and weave the yarn tail into the seam. Trim the excess.

  7. Join the next pair of squares the same way, then join the rows together to complete the layout.

  8. Press the joined piece gently with your hands or a light steam to flatten the seams.

Tips and common mistakes

Keep your stitches loose enough that the squares stay flat and do not bunch up.

Use the same yarn weight as the squares so the seam blends in.

Match the stitch count on both edges before you start sewing to avoid a wavy join.

Questions

Do I sew or crochet the squares together?

This guide uses a yarn needle and whip stitch, which gives a flat, tidy seam. You can also crochet them together with a slip stitch if you prefer a raised join.

Which side should face out?

Keep both squares right side up as you sew so the rose texture stays on the front. The seam sits on the back.

Can I use a sewing thread instead of yarn?

Yarn is better because it matches the stretch and look of the squares. Thread can cut into the stitches over time.
