Here are the changes to the pattern. I found the original pattern too "gappy".
The original pattern may be found at www.redheart.com. Search "Flower Tile afghan"
Because of copyright, I wasn't sure I could reproduce the pattern here. You will need to make changes on the original pattern.
Changes are marked in red
Note: on round 6, when making the long stitch into round 5 there will be a "bump" when the stitch is finished....just a bit of texture for the square.
4.50 mm hook
Rnd 4: Slip st in ch 2 space, ch 3. Change all the directions for dc to sc and ch -2 to ch1
Rnd 5: Change all dc to hdc and ch 2 to ch 1
Rnd 6: after “ sc in each of next 2 dc(will be hdc) on Row 5, (tr, ch 1, tr ) thus omitting the second tr, sk one dc on Row 5
Rnd 7 and 8: Slip st in ch 1 corner space, ch 2, (1hdc,ch1,2hdc) in same space, *hdc in each st to corner, (2hdc, ch1, 2hdc) in corner*, repeat * to * around.
Note: You may need to add another row to bring the square to 8”.
If you have any questions, please let me know....I understand what I did but it may not be clear to anyone else :-)

Hi Linda, how are you? Thank you so much for giving me the changes to the pattern. I am really stupid when it comes to changing patterns and certainly can't knit or crochet out of my head, I always need a pattern to follow. It is the weekend and I plan to try out the square. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks once again.
