• Gauge: 4 inches = 12 stitches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the cream yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your flower motif.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch. Now, *make 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around the entire round. Join with a sl st. You should have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Change to navy yarn. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each dc around. Join with a sl st.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then *make 2 dc in the next single crochet (sc), chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
6. Round 5: Change to purple yarn. Chain 1, then *make 1 sc in the next chain 1 space, then 3 dc in the next sc; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
7. Round 6: Change to light blue yarn. Chain 1, then *make 1 sc in the next 3 dc, then 3 dc in the next sc; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
8. Round 7: Change back to navy yarn. Chain 1, then sc in each stitch around, making 3 sc in each corner to keep the square shape. Join with a sl st.
9. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long enough tail to weave in. Use your tapestry needle to weave in all ends securely.
