If you want to attach the square to a ring (my ring was 22 cm across) crochet round 14 as below; 

14. *1 sc in corner-chsp, ch1, hold the ring behind the square and crochet 1 sc in corner-chsp (this traps the ring inside the ch1-sp), 12 sc, 1 fpsc around fptr2tog, 2 sc, 1 fpsc around fptr2tog, 2 sc, 1 fpsc around fptr2tog, 12 sc*, repeat *-* around. End with a slst in first sc.

Cut the yarn and secure all your ends. I recommend that you block your square (not necessary if you attached it to a ring) to make the design justice.
