🌑 ROUND 1 – GRAY CENTER (3 PUFF PETALS)

Step 1: Magic Ring

• Wrap yarn around fingers
• Insert hook, pull up loop
• Do not tighten yet

Step 2: First Petal

Into the MR:

1. ch 3 (counts as dc)
2. 4 dc
3. ch 3
4. sl st into the ring

👉 This makes one raised puff

Step 3: Make 2 More Petals

• Repeat the same steps 2 more times
• You now have 3 puff petals

Step 4: Finish

• Pull MR tight
• sl st to secure
• Fasten off

🤍 ROUND 2 – WHITE PETALS (6 PETALS)

Step 1: Join Yarn

• Turn flower front side up
• Join white yarn between two gray petals

Step 2: One White Petal (all in same space)

1. ch 2
2. 2 hdc
3. 2 dc
4. 2 hdc
5. ch 2
6. sl st into the same space

👉 This creates one teardrop petal

Step 3: Repeat

• Work 1 petal in each space
• Total = 6 white petals

Step 4: Finish

• Fasten off neatly

✔ Petals should sit on top of gray center

🌸 ROUND 3 – LIGHT PINK PETALS (12 PETALS)

IMPORTANT

We work behind white petals, not into them.

Step 1: Join Yarn

• Turn flower to the back
• Find spaces between stitches
• Join light pink yarn

Step 2: Petal Pattern

Into the same stitch:

1. ch 3
2. 2 dc
3. 1 tr
4. 2 dc
5. ch 2
6. sl st

Step 3: Spacing

• Skip 1 stitch
• Repeat around

✔ You will get 12 petals
✔ Petals should be bigger than white

🌺 ROUND 4 – DARK PINK OUTER PETALS (12 BIG PETALS)

Step 1: Join Yarn at Back

• Attach yarn behind light pink petals

Step 2: Big Petal Pattern

All in one stitch:

1. ch 3
2. 3 dc
3. 2 tr
4. 3 dc
5. ch 2
6. sl st

Step 3: Repeat

• Repeat behind each light pink petal
• Total = 12 large petals

Step 4: Finish

• Fasten off
• Weave ends tightly

✔ Petals should curl outward beautifully

---

🌼 FINAL SHAPING

• Use fingers to separate layers
• Light steam blocking (optional)
• Stitch center down if needed

❗ COMMON MISTAKES

❌ Petals flat → use smaller hook
❌ Curling too much → loosen tension
❌ Gaps → don’t skip wrong stitch
