Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Begin With The Flower Center

1. Magic Circle: Create a magic circle or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 4 (counts as the first treble crochet).
   • Work 11 more treble crochets into the ring.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.
   • You should now have 12 treble crochets in a circle.

Step 2: Form The Flower Petals

1. Round 2:
   • Chain 2, then insert your hook into the same stitch. Work (1 double crochet, 2 treble crochets, 1 double crochet).
   • Skip one stitch from the previous round. Slip stitch into the next stitch to anchor the petal.
   • Repeat the petal sequence (ch 2, 1 dc, 2 tr, 1 dc, skip a stitch, sl st) around the circle.
   • You should have six petals in total at the end.

Step 3: Transition To The Square Background

1. Round 3:
   • Attach your background color yarn.
   • In any gap between petals, chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
   • Work 2 more double crochets into the same gap.
   • Chain 2, then work 3 double crochets into the next gap.
   • Continue this pattern (3 dc, ch 2) around all gaps.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.

Step 4: Create The Granny Square Base

1. Round 4:
   • Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
   • In the first chain-2 corner from the previous round:
     • Work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
   • For the side gaps, work 3 double crochets.
   • At each corner (chain-2 space), repeat the following: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
   • Continue this pattern around the square.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.

Step 5: Final Touch
