We run a fundraising for Somalia during August – similar to the one for Japan initiated by Großmütterchen’s Blogspot. I modified the famous „African Flower“ granny from hexagon to square format. You are invited cordially to join!
For starters – please use cotton or cotton-mixture matching hook #3 mm. The granny squares should measure appr. 10-11 cm. We will give you more information on how to proceed shortly.

Hello, this is so helpful, thank you. Do you use Uk or USA crochet terms?

This is such a cute pattern. Is there a web page that has the instructions written down? I find it hard to follow the video and would like to read instructions. Thanks.

Hello Penny
I was also looking for the instructions for this, and seem to have found it, or something more or less the same on: http://blairpeter.typepad.com/weblog/2012/06/granny-square-sampler-afghan-week-7.html

I also would love the written instructions to the Granny Square „Somalia“ African Flower. It is really different.
Thank you so much

Hello i love your granny square! it is the perfect design because i was looking for a pattern to crochet squares for the knit-a-square project to be sent to african orphanages. Unfortunately after finishing one square the material refuses to lay flat and seems to be bulging/rippling a lot. Do you know what i did wrong? And how can i modify the pattern so that it is a flat square instead of a hexagon
