Square 8 -- The Huh Block (Not Quite Straight) Square

Square 8 is a Not Quite Straight Square
and the pattern I used was designed by Tiggerbee's  Buzz

Here is her square done in 2 colors



The square looks complicated,
but it was really easy.

Here's a picture of my finished block

 



 

 
 
My instructions probably aren't very clear and I apologize for that in advance.
I'm writing them out in my own way mainly for me to go back and make more squares for another afghan, but I will be more than happy to try to help you understand my way of writing if you are interested in making some of these squares. 
 Just leave a comment or email me.
 
 
 
I followed the instructions for the square except I use an H hook on my squares
:
Rnd 1: ch 5, join into ring with slip stitch into first ch.

Rnd 2: ch 2 (counts as first sc), sc into ring 15 times, join with slip stitch into 2nd chain.

Rnd 3: ch 4 (counts as first dc), * hdc, sc, hdc, dc * , then repeat from * to * twice, hdc, sc, hdc, join with slip stitch into 4th chain. Change colour.

Rnd 4: Join colour B on next stitch, * sc, hdc, dc, tr, ch4 *, and repeat from * to * three times. Join with slip stitch to first sc, and end colour.

Rnd 5: Join colour A at start of 4 chain loop. * (sc 2, hdc 2 in chain loop), dc 2, tr 2, ch4 *, and repeat from * to * three times. Join with slip stitch to first sc, and end colour.

Rnd 6: Join colour B at start of 4 chain loop. * (sc 3, hdc in chain loop), hdc 2, dc 3, tr 3, ch4 *, and repeat from * to * three times. Join with slip stitch to first sc, and end colour.

Rnd 7: Join colour A at start of 4 chain loop. * sc 4 in chain loop, hdc 4, dc 4, tr 4, ch4 *, and repeat from * to * three times. Join with slip stitch to first sc, and end colour.
 
Here's where I started making my changes:
 
Row 8:  I made one more row as above with 5 of each stitches on each side.  sc 4 in the loop and then SC 1,  HDC 5,  DC 5, TR 5
 
Row 9:  (white)  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and a SC in each stitch of the previous row (23 SC on each side)
 
Row 10:  (purple)  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and a SC in each BL of the SC of the previous row (27 SC on each side)
 
Row 11:  (light blue)  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and a SC in each BL of the SC of the previous row (31 SC on each side)
 
Row 12:  2 SC, ch 2, 2 SC in each corner and a SC in each SC of the previous row (35 SC on each side)
