πΌ Step-by-Step Pattern β Unique Yellow Square Motif
πΈ Round 1: Center Flower Circle
- Make a magic ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), then make 11 dc into the ring.

- Sl st to join and fasten off if desired (or continue with same yarn).
π Optional: Use tr instead of dc for longer, more dramatic petals.
πΈ Round 3: Shaping into a Square
Now we’ll turn the flower into a square:
- Join yarn in a space between petals.
- (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space β this is your first corner.
- In the next 2 spaces: Work 3 hdc in each.
