The Assembly Diagram on page 62 has numbers to guide you on the order squares are crocheted. Each Diagonal Row is worked in one color across all Squares and colors are alternated every Diagonal Row. New Squares are joined on to previous Squares at lower edge of Square and then join along one side edge of corresponding Square of previous Diagonal Row. Then Squares are decreased in each Diagonal Row until one Square remains for last corner.

Then Diagonal Rows are worked with 21 Squares for 6 more rows to add length and make 3rd corner. Throw is worked in Diagonal Rows from Square 1 in the left corner, increasing Squares in each Diagonal Row until one side has 21 Squares, making 2nd corner.
