Patterns start with the Magic Ring, if you are not comfortable using this technique
then substitute it for Chain 3, the work stitches in the first chain.

Some patterns are worked in continuous rounds, others are worked in rows,
please check each pattern for method used

When working in continuous rounds it is advised to use a stitch marker in the first

Numbers written in ( ) at end of each round is total stitch count for that round
rep = repeat

Stitches used
sc – Single crochet
hdc – half double crochet

Fold your square in half, corner to corner and using this as a guide make a chain
in your filling colour that will match the length of your sandwiches side, double this
chain number and add 2 extra chains for example:

13 chain stitches = one side of sandwich, double this = 26 +2 =28

chain 28, 1sc in second chain from hook, 1sc in each of the next 12 chains, 2sc in
the next chain, 1sc in the last 13 chains.

This will give you and L shape to use as your filling.
