Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Begin With The Flower Center

- 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
- 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
- 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
- Round 4:
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- In the first chain-2 corner from the previous round:

- Continue this pattern around the square.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.
