Materials Needed:

2.5 mm crochet hook
Anti-pilling yarn (or any brand you prefer)
Cotton yarns (optional, as an alternative)

Starting the Motif:

Chain 5. This is the locking chain.
Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.

First Round:

Chain 2 (this acts as the first half-double crochet).
Work 16 half-double crochets (fake handrails) into the circle.
Slip stitch into the top of the first half-double crochet to join.

Second Round:

Chain 1. This will act as the first single crochet.
Skip a space, work a single crochet into the next stitch. Repeat from * to * around, creating 8 "nests" or spaces.
Join with a slip stitch into the first single crochet.

Third Round (Leaf Creation):

From a nest, pull up a loop, and work 3 half-double crochets.
Slip stitch into the next nest.
Repeat this process in each nest, creating a leaf-like pattern in each of the 8 spaces.

Creating the Flower:

Work a chain, then turn the piece.
In the single crochet spaces, create a nest for the second flower.
Work single crochets and chains to build petals.

Building the Second Row of Leaves:

Turn the flower pattern and alternate between single crochets and working 5 chain loops (these will become more nests).
In these new nests, create the second row of leaves, alternating between the leaves with single crochets and chain spaces in between.

Third Row and Corner Formation:

Create a third row of leaves, similar to the second row, but adjust the chains to form the corners of the motif.
As you reach the corner spaces, ensure that you create a "corner" by making handrails, chains, and more handrails into the same space.
Complete the corners ensuring that you have a square shape forming.

Final Rounds (Edge Creation):

For the final edging, create handrails in each space, ensuring to add 2 chain stitches at the corners to maintain the shape.
Incorporate a new color if desired for a two-tone effect.
Finish with a row of single crochets on the white part of the flower for final edging.
