Chain 30. TIP: Normally Tunisian crochet can only be as wide as your hook is long. But if you use a Point Protector the end of the hook, a few more stitches will fit and you can squeeze them up a bit to make your piece bigger.
Insert the hook into the second stitch (working into the back loops) from the needle.
Yarn over, pull up a loop through the chain stitch and leave the loop on the hook.
Keep working in this way, pulling up a loop from each chain stitch and leaving it on the crochet hook.
To make a return row, work a chain stitch and pull through one loop.
Then work a chain stitch and pull the yarn through two loops at a time until you reach the start again.
"For the Tunisian basic stitch, insert the hook behind the front vertical bar from left to right, pull up the yarn and leave it on the hook.
TIP: To achieve a nice even edge on the left side of your work, insert the hook under both legs of the last stitch and then pull the yarn up."
Return to the start by working a return row.
Keep working the Tunisian basic stitch (row 1) and the return row (row 2) alternating until the cloth measures 17cm deep .
Bind off and weave in the ends

Work a round of double (US: single crochet) in the darker colour along the edges before starting the scallop round.
On the corners, work three double crochet stitches to turn the corner.

Swap to the lighter colour yarn. On one corner, skip the first stitch right on the corner and slip stitch into the second.
Skip the next stitch and then 4 Treble (US: double) crochet into the next stitch.
*Skip the next stitch, slip stitch into the next, skip a stitch, 4 treble, skip a stitch and slip stitch into the next*.
Repeat from * to the end of the side.
Slip stitch into the second stitch (the middle of the three corner stitches)on the corner.
Crochet the second side as for the first.
Repeat sides one and two to complete all of the sides.
Break the yarn and weave in the ends with the darning needle.
