Creating the Flower (Center of the Motif)

Magic Ring: Start by creating a magic ring.

First Petal:

Chaiufor a gap.
Repeat this process until you have a total of 8 petals.

Closing the Flower:

After the last two chains, pull the yarn of the magic ring to close the center.
Lock the flower by slip stitching into the first popcorn stitch, then slip stitch into the first gap.
Chain 1 and cut the yarn.

Quantity: Create 12 flowers, each with a different color.

Adding the Side Pattern (Square Motif)

Attaching Yarn: Attach a new color of yarn to any gap of the flower where you previously cut the yarn.

Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet).
Make 2 double crochets in the same gap to complete the first set of 3 double crochets.
In the next gap, make 3 triple crochets, chain 3, then 3 more triple crochets in the same gap to form a corner.
In the next gap, make 3 double crochets.

Continue alternating between a corner (3 triple crochets, chain 3, 3 triple crochets) and a side (3 double crochets) until you have 4 corners, forming a square shape.

Slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain 3 to lock the round.

Round 2:

Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet).
Make one double crochet in each subsequent double crochet stitch until you reach a corner.
In the corneur gap, make 3 double crochets, chain 3, and then 3 more double crochets in the same gap.
Continue making one double crochet in each stitch and repeating the corner pattern until the end of the round.
Slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain 3 to lock the round.

Rounds 3-5: Repeat the pattern of Round 2 for three more rounds, making a total of five rounds for the square motif.

Slip stitch to lock the final round, chain 1, and cut the yarn.
Create 12 square motifs in total.

Joining the Motifs

Arrangement: Arrange the 12 motifs into three rows of four motifs each.

Joining Two Motifs (Side-by-Side):

Place two motifs with their wrong sides facing each other.
Attach yarn to the corner hole of one motif.
Chain 1 and make a single crochet in the same corner hole.
Insert the hook into the next stitch of the first motif, then into the corresponding stitch of the second motif.
Make a single crochet to join them.
Continue making single crochets through both motifs, joining them stitch by stitch until you reach the next corner.
At the corner, make a single crochet and chain 1, then cut the yarn.

By Joining Rows:

Once you have three rows of four motifs, join these rows together.
Place two rows with their wrong sides facing each other.
Attach yarn to the corner hole.
Chain 1 and make a single crochet in the same corner hole.
Join the rows using single crochets, similar to how you joined individual motifs.

Joining Corners of Multiple Motifs:

When joining the corners where four motifs meet, make two single crochets in the corner hole of the first motif, and then two single crochets in the corner hole of the second motif.
Continue with single crochets to join the rest of the stitches.
