Front Post Double Crochet Around Single Crochet Square

Broke my hook on the "new" yarn. No worries, it was plastic and gives me an excuse to get a nicer new one. The size 5 was discontinued but everyone has size 6. Even though I bought it listed as a size 5 (grrrr). I can tell the difference, Besides being slightly thicker, it's not as soft. Oh well, it's just a couple of squares and I'm NOT starting over!!!
