Five Point Motif - Free Pattern by Cynthia

I used Caron's Simply Soft in Black and a size F hook to make this motif.  It measures 3 1/4" wide from point to point.

If  you put the point together so they're almost touching, a square filler is necessary which I am working on next. 
Free pattern is below.  If you have any questions please feel free to comment or tell me how you like this too.

Thank you!

Free Pattern For Five Point Motif by Cynthia

With hook size F and Caron's Simply Soft black (or any other color)
Ch 2 loosely

R 1:  10 sc inside second chain from hook.  If you push the sc around the ch you are working in every three stitches, it helps make room for all the sc.   Join with sl st to first sc   (10 sc around)

R 2:     ch 3, 2 dc in same st as sl st from last round, ch 3, *skip next sc, 3 dc in next sc, ch 3 ,  Repeat from * around, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3 of this round  (Five dc groups, five ch 3 groups made)

R 3: (do not ch 1) sl st into next dc (middle dc of group here and throughout) *ch 3, sc inside 2nd (middle) ch of ch 3 group, ch 3, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc; Repeat from * around  (10 ch 3 groups made, 10 sc around)
sl st into beg sl st of this round to join

R 4:  * (3 sc, hdc, dc) all inside next ch 3 loop, ch 2, (dc, hdc, 3 sc) all in next ch 3 loop; Repeat from * around
Join with sl st to first sc of this round

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Motif can be used for just about anything.  I'm going to make a top of some sort (I hope) with mine, maybe using a contrast color for the filler squares, maybe not, I haven't decided yet.
