An 8/10/ 12-round square can be made by following the instructions as per rounds 5 and 6, except that the
number of stitches between each corner increases with every round. Essentially, you must do one DC [TR]
in each stitch in the previous round, and 2 DC [TR] + 2 chain + 2 DC [TR] into each corner space.

To finish: chain two, yank tightly. Leave a long tail for joining (2-3 times the length of one square side),
and cut yarn.

In order to make this blanket you need to make three strips of crocheted blocks, each strip is 30 rounds
wide and 12 rounds deep. For this you need:
 30 four-round squares
 6 six-round squares
 6 eight-round squares
