Slightly rubbish crochet flower

A while ago I decided to learn to crochet, and I have a blanket using the granny square stitch as a work in progress.

But today I had the urge to attempt to crochet something else.

I did have a pattern, but as soon as I got to the part of the instructions I didn't understand I decided to just wing it. (I'm not good at failing, and you can't fail if you move the goalposts!)

Practice makes perfect though, and boy, do I need more practice!
