Here is a picture of my new granny square which I believe is a new pattern. It is hard to make a granny square out on anything other than a 6 or 8 petal flower but this one has only seven. Hope you enjoy. This pattern has been updated with additional information and for easier understanding of the pattern.
Pattern: 7 Petal Flower Granny Square
Materials:
Hook Size H
Worsted Wt. Yarn
Stitches used: ch (chain) sl st (slip stitch) sc (single crochet) hdc (half double crochet) dc (double crochet) trc (triple or treble crochet) dtc (double treble crochet)
This Granny is a little different because instead of 6 or 8 petals this one only has 7. As all of you know odd numbers are hard to work with when you are making a granny square. This one is still easy only with a small twist. Don't let an odd number scare you away.
C1 - natural,C2 - lt. rose,C3 - lt. willow,C4 - Dk. willow,C5 - Dk. rose.(I used Mary Maxim starlette yarn)

Round 8: Attach C5 in any corner, Repeat as above only adding one more 3 dc in same sp to each side. (4 - 3dc, ch 1 on each side, excluding corner spaces). Finish off C5.
You can stop here if you want a 6 1/2" square.
Round 9: Attach C1 in any st., sc around, with 3 sc in each corner space, sl st to first sc.
This will make a 7" granny square.
Check guage as yarns are different and adjust your hook accordingly.
