I have 16 of each square, so 32 total. My plan is to join them in rows of 8 using 4 of each square, and between each row of 8 squares, I'm going to do rows of stitches until I'm satisfied with the length, and using a 5.5mm hook (again lol) so it's looset and drapes a bit better (the recommended hook size for all the yarns I'm using is a 5mm)
I don't know what I'm doing for the border yet, but I think I'll use either the dark blue or the dark purple from my squares to tie it all together really nicely
