3. Round 1: Ch 2, work 2 dc into each st around. Join with sl st. (12 dc)
4. Round 2: *Ch 3, skip 1 st, sl st into next* – repeat around to form petal bases. (6 loops)
5. Round 3: Into each ch-3 loop: (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc). Repeat for all 6 loops.

🎯 Pro Tips

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of your starting point in each round.
• If the petals curl, try steaming lightly or blocking to flatten them.
• Switch to a smaller hook if your petals feel too loose or floppy.
• Layer two motifs for a fuller flower – stitch them together at the center.
• Use cotton yarn for crisp stitch definition, especially for accessories.
