Square 5 -- Flower Burst

Square 5 is going really smoothly and I love the flower in the middle.

 

I found this pattern on Ravelry and it's another one of Melinda Millers.

 

 

This one is called Princess and I did have to alter the square to fit my squares.

 

I can't get her pattern to copy so you'll have to go to the link above to get this one.

 

I followed the pattern for the first 3 rows except that I changed colors for Row 3.

 

 

 

My instructions probably aren't very clear and I apologize for that in advance.

I'm writing them out in my own way mainly for me to go back and make more squares for another afghan, but I will be more than happy to try to help you understand my way of writing if you are interested in making some of these squares. 

 Just leave a comment or email me.

 

My version to fit my square size is:

 

Row 1-2 Melinda Millers Princess Square except for color change on Row 3.

Row 3:  (turquoise) 3 DC, ch 2, 3 DC in each corner (the point of any flower) then ch 4 and sk 4 SC of the previous row over to the next point , 2 SC in the next point and repeat around. (8 SC, 40 ch, 24 HDC)
 

Row 4:  (green) 2 HDC, ch 2, 2 HDC in each corner and then 1 HDC in the next 3 DC of the previous row, ch 4, 2 SC in the 2 SC of the previous row and repeat.  (40 ch, 40HDC, 8 SC)
 

Row 5:  (purple)  2  HDC, ch 2, 2 HDC in each corner and then 1 HDC in the next 5 HDC of the previous row, ch 4, 2 SC in the 2 SC of the previous row and repeat. (40 ch, 56 HDC, 8 SC)

 

Row 6:  (pink)   2 HDC, ch 2, 2 HDC in each corner and then 1 HDC in the next 7 HDC of the previous row, ch 4, 2 TC in the 2 SC of the previous row and repeat. {8 TC, 40 ch, 72 HDC)

Row 8:  (light blue)  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and 1 SC each of the SC of the previous row. (31 SC on each side 124 total)

Row 9:  (darker blue)  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and 1 SC each of the SC of the previous row. (35 SC on each side 132 total)



 My squares are 7 inches and I use an H hook.

I'm also using Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

 

All of my squares have 35 SC on each side.
