To connect the four granny squares you can either sew them together using a whip stitch with yarn and a large needle or do slip stitches with your crochet hook.  I used the method with the slip stitches which I will describe below:
  • Line up the two squares (right sides facing each other).
  • Start with a slip knot and insert hook through one loop in each piece (square), yarn over and pull through both loops (slip stitch), continue along the length of the squares.
  • Join the second pair of squares in the same way.
  • Now, join the two pairs together (making sure that you have right sides facing each other).
  • This creates an invisible (barely visible) seam from the front of the piece.
