NOTE: 1 row are basic afghan stitch(BAS)is pulling up the loops and then working them off. The first st on the hook at the beggining of a row counts as 1 sts in that row! So if it says, "Work 4 sts onto hook, and this is at the beggining of a row, pull up a loop in the next 3, because the first 1 will count as 1. 1+3=4 :-)

TO INCREASE CORNERS: Insert hook in horizontal bar at TOP of row, RIGHT before the stitch that is to be increase, pull up a loop, pull up a loop into the next real st, then insert hook into horizontal bar RIGHT AFTER the st just worked, and pull up a loop.
When instructed to RETURN, work loops off hook 2 at a time. This is just the basic step that completes the row.
