🧶 Pattern Overview (Important)

• Worked in rounds (not rows)
• Starts from center circle → flower → square
• Uses:
  • Double crochet (dc)
  • Chains (ch)
  • Cluster/petal stitches
• Then transforms into a square with corners

👉 This “flower → square” structure is typical for motif designs

---

🟦 PART 1: Center Circle

Step 1: Make ring

• Ch 4
• Join with sl st to form a ring

---

Step 2: Round 1 (base circle)

• Ch 3 (counts as dc)
• Work 15 dc into the ring
• Join with sl st

👉 You now have a full round circle (16 dc total)

---

🟦 PART 2: Creating Petal Base

Step 3: Round 2 (cluster spacing)

1. Ch 1
2. Work pattern around:

Repeat:

• 1 sc
• ch 2
• skip 1 stitch

👉 Continue around entire circle

• Join with sl st

👉 You now have chain spaces all around
(these will hold petals)

---

🟦 PART 3: Flower Petals (Main Beauty Step)

Step 4: Round 3 (petal clusters)

👉 Work into each ch-2 space

In each space:

• (dc, tr, dc) OR similar tall cluster (as shown)

Repeat in every space around

👉 Each space becomes:
🌸 one petal

---

Important:

• All petals are worked into spaces, not stitches
• This gives soft, rounded flower shape

👉 This technique is common in floral motifs

---

🟦 PART 4: Stabilizing Round

Step 5: Round 4 (locking petals)

1. Ch 1
2. Work between petals:

Repeat:

• sc between petals
• ch 2

👉 This creates:

• Structure
• New spaces for next round

---

🟦 PART 5: Turning Flower into Square ⭐

This is the MOST IMPORTANT part.

---

Step 6: Round 5 (forming corners)

Work around motif:

On sides:

• dc in spaces

At 4 points (corners):

Work in same space:

• (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)

👉 Do this exactly 4 times

---

Result:

• Shape changes from round → square

👉 Corners are created using increases
(standard square technique)

---

🟦 PART 6: Expanding the Square

Step 7: Next round

1. Move to corner space
2. In each corner:

• (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)

3. Along sides:

• dc in each stitch

👉 This sharpens square edges

---

🟦 PART 7: Lace / Decorative Layer

Step 8: Pattern round

In spaces:

• (dc, ch 1, dc) OR small shell groups

👉 Creates:

• Open lace look
• Elegant texture

---

🟦 PART 8: Final Border

Step 9: Finishing edge

Options (as shown style):

✔ Simple:

• sc around

✔ Decorative:

• (sc, ch 3, sc) in same stitch

---

🟦 PART 9: Final Step

• Fasten off
• Weave in ends
• Light blocking

👉 This makes the square:

• Flat
• Clean edges
• Professional look
