The African Flower Square

In this video I share how to make this lovely African flower square in crochet.
I made this blanket a couple of years ago and have had a lot of questions regarding it.
Details:
I used a 3.75 mm hook - the same one that is shown in this tutorial today.

The blanket is 36" x 54" - not including the scalloped border.
8 squares across and 11 high.
Each square is 4x4 inches
I used a pack of yarn called "sweet pea" that was created for a "CAL" with Attic 24 . attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sw...
I did not participate in the crochet along - just wanted to use this color recipe for my blanket.

This one pack was all I needed for the blanket.
If you are in the USA, you can find the yarn here:

You won't find the sweetpea pack but here are all the colors in it:
This pack contains 15 balls of Stylecraft Special DK (100g), a 100% acrylic yarn, in the following shades:
Pistachio (1822)
Meadow (1065)
Cypress (1824)
Violet (1277)
Lavender (1188)
Wisteria (1432)
Clematis (1390)
Cream (1005)
Soft Peach (1240)
Candyfloss (1130)
Blush (1833)
Pomegranate (1083)
Fuschia Purple (1827)
Magenta (1084)
Plum (1061)
For the border, I first did hdc's all the way around in green (hdc, chn 2, hdc on corners) . Then, I did another round on this with sc's in the same color I was planning for the scallop edge (purple) . The scallops consisted of 7 dc's with sc's between each to anchor them down. If you want to see a video on how to do this , let me know.
