🧩 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

---

🔹 Round 1: Center (White)

1. Make a magic ring (or chain 4, join with slip stitch to form a ring).
2. Chain 3 (counts as 1 double crochet).
3. Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
4. Chain 2 (corner space).
5. (3 dc, ch 2) repeat 3 more times into the ring.
6. Join with slip stitch to top of starting ch-3.
7. Pull the magic ring tight.
   → You should have 4 groups of 3 dc, separated by ch-2 corners.

🧵 Cut yarn and fasten off (or carry yarn if you prefer color changes without cutting).

🔹 Round 2: Navy Blue Section

1. Attach Color B (navy blue) in any corner ch-2 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc in the same corner.
   → That’s your first corner cluster.
3. Skip to next corner space.
4. In next ch-2 space, work (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc).
5. Repeat this pattern around (4 corners total).
6. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning ch-3.

🧵 Cut yarn and fasten off.

💡 Now you should have a white center with navy blue cross-like petals forming around it.

🔹 Round 3: Pink Border

1. Attach Color C (pink) in any corner ch-1 space.
2. Chain 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in same space (corner made).
3. Between the two navy clusters (in space between them), work 3 dc.
4. In next corner space: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
5. Repeat this pattern all the way around:
   • 3 dc in side spaces
   • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corner spaces
6. Join with slip stitch to top of starting ch-3.

💡 This round finishes the square shape and gives the final pink frame.

🔹 Optional Rounds (if you want a bigger square)

If you want to make it larger, repeat additional rounds as follows:

• Continue alternating colors (white → blue → pink)
• Each new round: 3 dc in each side space, and (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner.

---

🔹 Joining the Squares

Once you’ve made multiple squares:

1. Lay them out in the pattern you want (rotating as needed to create the diamond/star pattern).
2. Join them using one of these methods:
   • Slip Stitch Join: Place right sides together, slip stitch through back loops only.
   • Join-as-you-go: On final round of each square, connect corners and sides directly into adjacent square spaces.

💡 When joined, the blue sections from one square connect to the pink and white sections of others, forming the geometric pattern seen on the right side of your image.

🔹 Finishing

1. Weave in all ends securely with a yarn needle.
2. Block your squares for even edges (optional but recommended).
