Step-by-Step Instructions

Wind small yarn bobbins for each of your 5 colors to keep strands manageable throughout the layered construction.
Start with the golden-yellow yarn to create the cheerful circular flower center.
Work the white yarn around the center to form the raised inner puff stitch petals that resemble a small daisy.
Construct the larger deep teal blue petals behind the white petals to add depth and contrast.
Attach the olive-green leaves around the outer flower before building the background.
Work the white outer section using taller stitches and open spaces to transform the round flower into a structured square foundation.
Finish with a polished deep teal blue border, ensuring the four corners are evenly spaced for symmetry.

Assembly & Finishing

Weave in all loose yarn ends securely using your yarn needle. Block your finished square gently to achieve crisp, even edges and maintain a balanced 9–10 cm central flower before joining multiple motifs together.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Aim for a central flower approximately 9–10 cm across before adding the square frame.
If your motif curls inward, loosen your tension or increase the chain spaces in the surrounding frame.
Make a small test swatch first if you plan to join several squares into a larger blanket or bag.
