Rnd 1: making sure you are on the side that shows the puff stitches, sc in ea sc across, (sc, ch 2, sc) in corner, sc evenly down side so work stays flat,

(sc, ch 2, sc) in corner, sc in ea ch across foundation row,

(sc, ch 2, sc) in corner, Sc evenly along side of work,
join to first sc with sl st or invisible finish off

Note: You can use whatever works for you in the corners. The goal is to keep the work flat. Some options I have used include:
A - 3 sc in each corner
B - (sc, ch 2, sc)   
C - (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc)
D - (2 sc, ch 1, 2 sc)
E - (sc, hdc, sc)
F - (sc, ch 1, sc, ch 1, sc)
