🌼 Step-by-Step Pattern – Unique Yellow Square Motif

πŸ”Έ Round 1: Center Flower Circle

  1. Make a magic ring.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), then make 11 dc into the ring.
  3. Pull the ring tight and sl st to top of ch-3 to join. (12 dc total)

🎯 Tip: This forms the base circle for your floral design.

πŸ”Έ Round 2: Flower Petals

  1. [Ch 2, 2 dc in the next stitch, ch 2, sl st in the next stitch]
  2. Repeat from * to * around for a total of 6 petals.
  3. Sl st to join and fasten off if desired (or continue with same yarn).

πŸ“ Optional: Use tr instead of dc for longer, more dramatic petals.

πŸ”Έ Round 3: Shaping into a Square

Now we’ll turn the flower into a square:

  1. Join yarn in a space between petals.
  2. (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space – this is your first corner.
  3. In the next 2 spaces: Work 3 hdc in each.
  4. Repeat from step 2 to form all 4 corners and sides.
  5. Sl st to join.

You should now have a square shape with a flower center!

  1. Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in each st around.
  2. In each corner ch-2 space, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

This round solidifies the square shape and adds a clean edge.
