v stich squares

[Jean Marie]

A long time ago I crocheted 1 'more v's please' square. Instead of the hdc on rnd 11 I did dc. After the 11 rnds I did 2 more rnds of v stitches, a dc rnd and then ending w/another v st rnd.

On the 2nd v stitch square I did the hdc on rnd 11 and then 4 more rnds of v stitches.
Well I decided to make some more and I almost have 5 v stitch squares done.

On another square, which is probably the 3rd square, starting on rnd 8 I did 3 rnds of v sts, a rnd of hdc, 3 more rnds of v sts and ending w/a hdc rnd.

On the 4th square, starting on rnd 8, I did 8 rnds of the v sts and then a hdc rnd. The 5th square, the one I'm working on, is gong to be a hdc on the last rnd w/7 rnds of v sts, maybe 8 rnds of v sts.

It looks like I have too many stitches but I followed the pattern. It doesn't lay flat. The 1st 2 squares lay flat

Blocking doesn't work for me. I've tried it before so I just try to stretch and flatten it with my hands.
