I was wondering about that last stitch! That answers that
I did ch between all groups.... but some of my stitches were really tight because I am still struggling with how to hold the yarn. The lady on Youtube made it look so easy! LOL I want to hold like I do when I knit, and that just doesn;t work
Wish I had learned crochet before knitting..
Looking at your reply again... single crochet??? My pattern didn't call for it I don't think......

Classic Granny Square Pattern
Remember, you can add as many rounds as you like to your square. Here is a pattern for up to 4 rounds. You may want to make squares that are all one color, or a different color for each round.
FOUNDATION CHAIN: Chain 4; join into a ring with a slip stitch.
ROUND 1: Ch 4, (3 dc into center of ring, ch 1) 3 times; 2 dc into center of ring; join to third chain of beginning chain with a slip stitch.
IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE SAME COLOR:
Slip stitch from the end of the round until you reach the ch1 stitch at a corner. Continue with the next round.
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE COLORS:
Cut yarn, leaving a tail, and draw it all the way through the slip stitch to secure it. Join the new color at a corner by drawing a stitch through a ch1 stitch. Continue with the next round.
ROUND 2: Ch 3, work corner (dc2, ch1, dc3) into the same stitch, work remaining corners: *ch1, skip over the 3 dc from the previous round, (dc3, ch1, dc3) into the same stitch; repeat from * two more times, ch1, join to third chain of beginning chain with a slip stitch.
ROUND 3: Ch 3, work corner (dc2, ch1, dc3) into the same stitch, work remaining sides:* ch1, skip over the 3 dc from the previous round, dc3, ch1, work corner (dc3, ch1, dc3); repeat from * two more times, ch1, join to third chain of beginning chain with a slip stitch.

So maybe it is just this particular pattern???? Will this work for the swap or should I find another one with sharper corners???
And I found what I needed
