Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Use stitch markers to keep track of your pattern repeats, especially in rounds 3 and 4.
2. Maintain consistent tension throughout color changes for clean transitions.
3. Make your chain spaces even for a balanced square shape.
4. Block your finished square to help the flower pattern lay flat and define the petal shapes.
