Here’s another way:

1. Create a 3 × 2 rounded rectangle:

2. Position three 1 × 1 rounded rectangles on top:

3. Select the top and bottom small shapes (which for convenience I’ll refer to as a group here, but they don’t actually have to be grouped).

4. Increase the height of the group so that the rounded corners are beyond the edges of the larger rectangle:

5. Select all three small shapes.

6. Increase the width of the group so that the rounded corners are beyond the edges of the larger rectangle:

7. Select all four shapes and choose ‘Layer > Geometry > Subtract’:

8. Choose the Corner Tool and select the nodes at the six corners that are currently sharp:

9. Use the Corner Tool to round the corners as little or as much as you like:

You can also use the "Contour Tool": draw three slightly overlapping squares at the corners that need to be connected, make a compound and then use the "Contour Tool" to move it from the outside inwards to achieve the desired effect.
