African Flower Square Diagram
Tutorial:
Round 1: Begin by creating a magic ring, then work 2 double crochets, chain 1 eight times inside the ring, resulting in 8 double crochet-2 groups and a total of 16 double crochets. Alternatively, you can opt for double crochet-2-together stitches instead of the double crochet-2 groups.

Round 4
Round 5: With a different color, work single crochets in every double crochet around, inserting spike single crochets between the shells of the 3rd round. To achieve a spike single crochet, insert your hook into the small space between the shells of round 3, pull up a loop to the height of your current working round, yarn over, and pull through the two loops on your hook.
