After a long break- here is the next part of my actual 6“ series for you. All squares are named and inspired by some great female musicians. While designing the squares, I listened to their music. For me, music is connecting people around the world just like crocheting. You just can understand it everywhere. That's what I really love about both of them. And if you like, you can hear their songs while working the squares. This time I listened to one of my favorite reggae artists- Jah9. She has many (self-)reflecting and spiritual texts. The name of the pattern is the name of one of her albums. So you can easily find if you want.

start in any hdc directly after the fphdc. (2 bpdc, ch 1, fptr around fphdc, ch 1, 2 bpdc, ch 1, bpsc around next fphdc, ch 1) x4. fo. (4 bpdc, 4 ch-1- spaces, 1 bpsc, 1 fptr per side)
start in any fptr. [(dc, ch 2, dc) in fptr = corner made, popcorn into ch- space, 3 dc (into next 2 st and ch- space, don't sk hidden st), fpdc around bpsc, 3 dc (into ch- space and next 2 st), popcorn into ch- space] x4. fo. (2 popcorn, 8 dc, 1 fpdc, 1 corner ch-2 – space per side)
