You'll need:
Yarn (medium weight)
Crochet hook (size J - 6.0mm)
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Stitch markers (if you like)
Let's start with combinations:
Ch = chain
dc = double crochet
Sc = single crochet
st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
Ready? Let's dive into the pattern:
Round 1:
Begin with a Magic Ring.
Ch 2, make 4 dc in the magic ring, then sl st to join.
Ch 2, and dc in each st all around, then sl st to join again. (You've got 4 sts now)
Round 2:
Ch 2, dc in every st around, and Sl st to join. (Still 4 sts)
Repeat step 1.
Round 3:
Ch 2, make 2 dc in each st around, and sl st to join. (This time you have 8 sts)
Ch 2, and once more in every st around before joining with a sl st.
Round 4:
Ch 2, continue with a dc in each st around, and then sl st to join once more. Now you have those trusty 8 sts.
Ch 2, next comes the dc2tog (find directions below). After that, just Repeat Step one for the final time.
Special Stitches:
Remember the dc2tog: insert hook, yarn over twice, draw up a Loop Twice, yarn over again, and pull through all loops on your hook.
For the Flower Center:
Chain two and make four double crochets into the center of your Square before joining with a slip stitch.
Time for Petals:
Chain two again, then double-Croat right around that center spot before joining it with a slip stitch. (Ending with those trusty four sits)
Chain two more and double up on those double crochets before sealing it with another slip stitch for a total of eight sits this time.
Now it's time to assemble those petals by spacing them evenly around the center before weaving in all your ends using that tapestry needle.
Some extra tips for you:
A handy stitch marker can help keep track of where each round starts.
Keep that tension consistent to avoid any Wonky Squares.
Adjust the square size by changing hooks or varying the number of rounds.
