🔹 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

🌼 Round 1: Flower Center Base

1. Make a magic ring, ch 1.
2. Work 8 sc into the ring.
3. Tighten the ring and join with a sl st to the first sc.
4. Fasten off.

🧵 You now have a small circle with 8 stitches, which will hold the flower petals.

🌼 Round 2: First Layer of Petals (Dark Blue)

1. Attach dark blue yarn into any sc.
2. (Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc, ch 3, sl st) in the same st.
3. Repeat above step in each of the 8 sc:
   • You’ll end up with 8 petals, each made of 3 dc and framed with ch-3 loops.
4. Fasten off.

📌 These are the raised petals in the image.

🌼 Round 3: Second Layer of Petals (Light Blue)

1. Insert your hook behind a petal and into the base sc from Round 1 (same base as before).
2. Attach light blue yarn.
3. (Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st) in the next unworked sc.
4. Repeat for each of the 8 base stitches (that were shared by the previous round).
5. Fasten off.

📌 This creates a layered 3D flower with alternating colors.

🍃 Round 4: Leaves (Green)

1. Attach green yarn into any space between the blue petals.
2. (3 dc) into each space between petals.
3. Continue all the way around (should be 8 groups of 3 dc).
4. Fasten off.

💡 This makes the flower look like it’s surrounded by leaves.

🧵 Round 5: Turn Circle into Square (Cream)

1. Attach cream yarn in any space between green groups.
2. Start forming corners:
   • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first space (this is a corner).
3. (3 dc) in next 2 spaces (these are sides).
4. Repeat: corner, side, side.
5. Complete the round and sl st to first dc.

✅ You now have a rounded square.

🧵 Round 6: Strengthen Square Frame (Cream)

1. Continue using cream yarn.
2. In each corner ch-2 space, work: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
3. In each side space, work (3 dc).
4. Complete round, join with sl st.

✂️ Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends with a tapestry needle.

💎 Final Decoration:

• Sew a pearl bead in the center of the flower using sewing thread and needle.

✅ Tips:
