I have a pattern for a granny square flower that my mother in law gave me, years ago. I do not have a written pattern and I am trying to write it out to share. I am not experienced at pattern writing, and even though this is a very simple motif, I find the written instructions I have come up with kind of confusing. Would someone be kind enough to try it for me, and see if you can follow my instructions. We can email back and forth with any questions, or if you are in the continental US, I will call you, if you'd like. Here goes. Thanks. This is only the flower (center) part of the granny square. If this is understandable, I will give the granny part. Granny Square Flower Chain 5, join with slip stitch in 1st chain to make circle.
Chain 3, * 3 double crochets in circle. Chain 3, turn.
1 double crochet in each of next 2 double crochets and make 1 double crochet in top of turning chain.Reach around behind the double crochets, and do 1 double crochet into original circle, behind 1st set, so it is actually as if it was done 1st.
Repeat from * seven times for a total of 8 petals.
