 Materials

• 4 yarn colors:

  • Yellow (center)

  • Cream (inner petals)

  • Pink (middle round)

  • Blue (outer round)

  • Neutral (border)

• Hook: 3.5 mm – 4 mm

• Scissors

• Yarn needle

 Abbreviations (US Terms)

• ch = chain

• sl st = slip stitch

• sc = single crochet

• dc = double crochet

• tr = treble crochet

• puff = puff stitch (yo, pull up loop 4 times, pull through all)

• sp = space

  

Round 1 – Center (Matches Diagram Core)

• Make magic ring

• ch 1

• Work 12 dc into ring

• sl st to first dc

👉 This creates a slightly open center like the diagram (NOT tight sc circle)

Round 2 – Puff Petals (Diagram Accurate)

• ch 1

• In same stitch: puff stitch, ch 1

• Skip next stitch

• In next stitch: puff, ch 1

👉 Repeat around

• Total: 12 puff petals with ch-1 spaces

• sl st to top of first puff

✔ Matches the rounded petal look in image

Round 3 – Open Fan Round (IMPORTANT FIX)

⚠️ This is where most patterns go wrong — here is the correct version:

• sl st into first ch-1 space

• ch 2

• In same space: 4 dc (total group = 5 dc with ch-2)

• ch 2

• In next space: 5 dc, ch 2

👉 Repeat around

✔ Creates wide fan/V shapes exactly like diagram
✔ NOT 3dc clusters

Round 4 – Second Fan Layer (Pink Round)

• sl st into next ch-2 space

• ch 2

• In same space: 5 dc, ch 2

👉 Repeat in each ch-2 space

✔ This builds the second floral ring seen in image

 Round 5 – Outer Petal Fans (Blue Round)

• sl st into next ch-2 space

• ch 2

• In same space: 5 dc, ch 2

👉 Repeat around

✔ This creates the outer bold petal layer

Round 6 – Turn Circle into Square

• sl st into next ch-2 space

• ch 3

In same space:

• 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc → corner

Next spaces:

• 3 dc in each space

👉 Every 4th space:

• (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) corner

✔ Now it becomes a perfect square

 Round 7 – Final Border

• ch 1

• Work 3 dc in each space

• Corners: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc

• sl st to finish

✔ Clean, straight edges like the real image

 Final Result

✔ True flower center
✔ Layered puff + fan petals
✔ Open decorative rounds
✔ Perfect granny square shape
✔  Designed to closely match the diagram and finished design

 Common Mistakes (Avoid These)

•  Using sc in center → makes design too tight
•  Replacing fans with 3dc clusters → ruins shape
•  Skipping chain spaces → breaks symmetry
•  Tight tension → petals won’t open properly
