To Finish: Fasten off yarn, weave in all ends.
To Alternate/add colors: Fasten off at the end of each row and attach new color in the corner of the previous row, beginning with ch 3.
Have fun with this pattern...it's a great way to use up leftover yarn that you can't use for anything else...the result is always so fun! Good luck!
(I will be sending a shipment of granny squares to Australia at the end of February, for the Crochet A Rainbow project...if you are interested in sending squares to me to include them in my shipment please send me an email!)
