African flower granny square.... another requested pattern

Played about with the square AF this morning so now have one l'm happy with

l used a double strand of DK Acrylic and a 6mm hook for this sample

THE African flower HEXAGON MOTIF IS NOT MY DESIGN

BUT THE SQUARE VERSION IS..QUICK PATTERN

Chain 6, sl st into a circle or make a magic circle

ROUND 1: 2dc, 1 ch , 2dc, repeat 7 times, sl st, to finish round

ROUND 2: 2dc, 2ch, 2dc, repeat 7 times...giving 8 sides, sl st to finish round.

 ROUND 3: 5 dc in each of the points (chain sp)

(normally it's 7 but it made it very frilly and didn't lie flat so l did 5 instead)

ROUND 4: sc in each dc stitch, make a long st, (spike stitch) down to row 3 in between each petal

ROUND 5:
NOW IT STARTS TO CHANGE FROM THE 6 PETAL AFRICAN FLOWER MOTIF

ROUND 5: start in the stitch after the spike st

*1dc in the next 2sts, 1dc,1ch,1dc, in the next stitch (point of petal), 1dc in the next 5 sts, 1dc,1ch,1dc in the next st (point of petal), 1dc in the next 2 sts, miss a st, * repeat from

* to * 3 more times. (start of 4 sides) sl st to complete the round.

You will now have the beginnings of the 4sides

ROUND 6...Start to the side of the 'hole'

*1dc in next 2sts, 1sc in the chain st, then 1sc in the next 6 sts, 1sc in the chain space then miss a st and do 1dc in the next 2 sts

next do 2trs, 3 chain and 2 trs, in the 'hole'* rep from * to *3 times to make 4 sides.
