Window Star Granny Square Pattern

Well, here goes. My first pattern blog post!!!!!! I have made this three times now and it always seems to work but if you spot a mistake, please please please let me know! I used pure cotton for the one above but for the tutorial I used double knitting wool and a 4mm hook for both.

I've done each round in a different colour to make it easier to see the different rounds in the pictures.

Scroll down to the end of the tutorial and after the last picture is the pattern with no pictures (for easier printing if you need to).

Here's the pattern using UK terminology:
