After two rounds to even out the edges - much improved! Used a mix of hdc and dc on the octagon edges, as needed.
![Joined! VERY wonky/uneven edges. I’ll even those out with a round or two of sts of varying heights.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/toriellen/892385335/643518A5-6CF2-4DF5-A482-D1479D5A7E76_small2.jpeg)

![Square piece. Here also, I added one yo for all post sts (2 yo for fpdcs, 3 yo for fptr). Not the squarest-looking square, could benefit from some mods, but should be fine when joined to adjacent pieces.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/toriellen/887464626/695D712B-8BEE-42D7-AF70-8A563DFF3251_small2.jpeg)

I added a yo for the fptr and fpdtr (3 yo and 4 yo, respectively). Also, HIGHLY recommend using st markers to mark the first and last stitch of each round. When joining new yarn, join with standing stitch when possible (sc or dc).
