The secret to folding the Pinwheel star is to fold each "star petal triangle" (the area between two sc's worked in both loops) separately. Work only on one at a time. You sort of twist the "petal" around, forming a little pocket on both the front and the back of your work. The very tip of the triangle is where you put your 4 sc, 3 sc in next st, 4 sc. This triangle tip is actually the "wrong" side of what you had been working on, while the pinwheel remains the front side. You then fold the next "star petal triangle", and work in the next triangle tip. If you've done it correctly, the blue row will look like the one in the picture. /\ /\ /\ <----- start here and work around. This is all you need to secure the "star petal triangles" together. When completed, you should have what looks like an actual pinwheel in the center, with the open pockets, surrounded by an 8 sided star.
