Creating the Daisy Center: The center of the square is made using four chains joined into a ring, followed by rounds of half-double crochets with chain spaces to form a solid base.
Making the Petals (Popcorn Stitch): The petals are made using five double crochets grouped together, known as the popcorn stitch, separated by three chain spaces.
Shaping the Square: A color change introduces the green section, where three double crochets, chain spaces, and corner stitches are used to start forming a square.
Alternating Colors for Depth: The pattern incorporates color changes between green and cream in alternating rounds to create a textured and multi-dimensional look.
Final Row & Bordering: The last round consists of double crochets and corner increases, ensuring a well-structured and symmetrical square.
Seamless Finishing Technique: A special finishing method is demonstrated using a yarn needle to create an invisible join, ensuring a polished look without visible knots or gaps.
