Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Make the Magic Ring and Flower Center

1. Using brown yarn, create a magic ring.
2. Work 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring.
3. Pull the ring tight, join with a slip stitch into the first sc.

2. Create First Round (Petal Base)

1. For each base stitch, work 2 double crochet (dc) (total: 16 dc).
   • Start with a chain 3 (counts as first dc), then one more dc into the first stitch.
   • Continue with 2 dc in each stitch around.
2. Close the round with a slip stitch into the first stitch.
3. Finish off and weave in ends on the wrong side.

3. Crochet the Petals

1. Attach red yarn to any base stitch with a knot.
2. Chain 6.
3. In the next base stitch, work 2 quadruple treble crochet (qtr):
   • Yarn over 4 times, insert into stitch, and pull through two loops repeatedly until complete.
   • Work both quadruple trebles in the same stitch.
4. Chain 6 and slip stitch into the next base stitch to complete the petal.
5. Repeat around, making 8 petals in total.
   • Each petal: chain 6, 2 quadruple treble crochet in next stitch, chain 6, attach to next stitch.
6. After last petal, join with a slip stitch to the first petal and finish off.

4. Form the Green Square Base

1. Attach green yarn to the back loops of the single crochets (between petals) on the wrong side.
   • Take only the back loops for a clean front look.
2. Make a chain 3, then single crochet into the next base back loop.
   • Repeat this for all 8 spaces, forming 8 chain-3 bases.
3. After the last group, join with a single crochet to the first chain and start building the square.

First Square Round:

1. After joining, chain 2 more (3 in total to count as first dc), then work 2 dc in same space.
2. Chain 1, then 3 dc in the next base space.
3. Alternate: chain 1, (3 dc, chain 1, 3 dc) [V-stitch] in next space, chain 1, then 3 dc in next space, etc. Repeat around.
4. Finish round with slip stitch in initial chain.

Second & Third Square Rounds:

1. Slip stitch to middle of first V-stitch from previous round.
2. Chain 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same space, chain 1, 3 dc in same space [V over V].
3. Chain 1, 3 dc in next chain space, chain 1, repeat V-over-V’s and 3 dc groups in chain spaces around.
4. Repeat sequence for a total of three green rounds, always ending with slip stitch and finishing off.

Finishing

• Use tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends through a few stitches on the wrong side.
• Trim excess yarn, always finishing on the back of the work for neatness.

TIP

For best results, block your motifs after finishing—the petals and corners will lay flatter and join together more evenly!
