Border:
Change to cc, turn, 1 dc in each stitch across, 4 dc in corner stitch
Working up 1st side dc evenly up side so that stitches lay flat and are evenly spaced. I placed one dc into each ch formed at the end of every row. 4dc in corner stitch
Work 1 dc in each chain across, 4 dc in corner stitch
Working down last side, dc evenly down side so that stitches lay flat and are evenly spaced. I placed one dc into each ch formed at the end of every row. 4dc in corner stitch. Fasten off yarn and weave all loose ends back into your work.

Notes:
If you want to make the afghan wider, increase the number of chain stitches in the base chain by a multiple of 4. Add more rows to obtain the desired length.
