The Rectangle Granny

Joining rounds method 1:
finish round one as follows: ch 1, join with sl st to top ch of beg ch-3. DO NOT TURN.
Dave at Serendipity offers an alternate method of working this round of the rectangle granny. I didn't put it as a separate method since it is so close to this one, just using a (dc, hdc, dc) rather than 3 dcs. You can find his instructions at http://serendipity.gpvm.com/granny.html .
Round 2
sl st in
next 2 dc, sl st in ch-2 space (sp)
In same ch-2 sp work (ch 2 OR 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) for first corner, (note: you can work ch 2 or ch 3 for your first chains - do whatever brings your stitch to equal height with your other stitches. Just do the same thing for all your beginning chains on all rounds.)
Note: If you've worked the original granny square tutorial, you may have noticed we've been working two chains in corners rather than three chains. That is because the width of your rectangle is less than the width of your granny at this point. On the next round, we will switch to three chains in corners. If you find your corners are not square, and you want to chain 3, that is perfectly fine.
ch 1, in next ch-2 sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 3dc) for 2nd corner,
(ch 1, 3dc in next ch-1 sp) across to last shell and ch-2 sp,
in ch-2 sp work (ch 1, 3dc, ch 2, 3dc) for third corner, ch 1
work (3dc, ch 2, 3dc) for last corner
(ch 1, 3dc in next ch-1 sp) across to beginning ch-3
You will end round two with a single crochet. See next page...
