      Oh thank you for replying so quickly! I was afraid 5 rows would be too narrow, but I think the flat braiding will make up for almost another square. Thank you for this pattern. I am making two afghans for my niece who is having twins! So I have another 30 squares to make now, but it didn't take me very long to make the first 36 so I am Ok with that! Thank again!

    How would I go about creating a half square for your squircle square? I would like to make a vest, but it calls for half squares (triangularly), and I don't know how to make one.

      I don't think this square can be a triangle because of the chain loops. I think you would have to make a plain triangle. :)
