⭐ ROUND 2 — Yellow Petals (Small Puff Petals)

We make 1 puff stitch + ch1 in each dc of Round 1.

Puff Stitch for Petals:

In the same stitch:

• YO, insert, pull up a loop (long, loose) → 2 loops
• YO, insert, pull up a loop → 3 loops
• YO, insert, pull up a loop → 4 loops
• YO, insert, pull up a loop → 5 loops

Pull through all loops, chain 1 to close.

Instructions:

1. Attach yellow yarn anywhere.
2. Ch 1.
3. Into each of the 12 dc, make:
   • 1 puff stitch
   • ch 1
4. Join with slip stitch to the top of first puff.

✔ Result: A ring of 12 small yellow petals around the brown center.

⭐ ROUND 3 — Cream Outer Petals (Large Puffs)

These puff stitches go into the ch-1 spaces between the yellow petals.

Large Puff Stitch:

In same space:

• YO + pull up loop × 6 times
  (Your hook will have many loops; keep tension loose.)
• YO, pull through ALL loops
• Ch 2 to lock the petal

Instructions:

1. Slip stitch into first ch-1 space of Round 2.
2. In each ch-1 space:
   • Make 1 large puff
   • Ch 2
3. Repeat around all 12 spaces.
4. Join with slip stitch.

✔ Result: 12 large cream petals, making the flower look full and round.

⭐ ROUND 4 — Green (Square + Leaves)

In this round, you turn the circle into a square using double crochet clusters.

You will work into the ch-2 spaces between the cream petals.

Corners:

In ONE ch-2 space:

• 3 dc
• ch 2
• 3 dc

Sides:

In the next two ch-2 spaces:

• 3 dc in each space

This pattern repeats all the way around.

Instructions:

1. Attach green yarn in any ch-2 space.
2. Make your first corner:
   • 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
3. Next space:
   • 3 dc
4. Next space:
   • 3 dc
5. Next space → Make a corner again:
   • 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
6. Continue:
   • 3 dc
   • 3 dc
   • Corner
   • 3 dc
   • 3 dc
   • Corner

You should make:

⭐ ROUND 5 (Optional) — Add a Border

If you want the finished square to look exactly like the sample, add:

Simple DC Border:

• Attach yarn
• 1 dc in each stitch
• (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner

This makes the square more defined and easier to join.
