3. Round 2 (Petals): [Ch 3, tr in same st, ch 3, sl st in same st] — repeat in each st around to make 12 petals.

Switch color for the square background.

🟨 Round 3: Square Base

1. Sl st into ch space between petals.
2. Work:
   (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corners (4 corners total)
   3 dc in each side space (between petals)
   Continue around and sl st to join.

🟪 Round 4 and Beyond: Expanding the Square

1. Continue working dc in each stitch around.
2. In each corner ch-2 space, work:
   (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
3. Repeat until your square reaches desired size.
   (Your blanket shows about 4 color rounds.)

🧵 Joining Squares

You can either:

• Sew squares together using a yarn needle and whipstitch
• Or use the join-as-you-go (JAYGO) method by slip stitching into adjoining squares during your final round.

🔁 Border

Finish your blanket with a border like this:

1. Single crochet around the entire piece.
2. Add decorative edge, e.g., picot stitch, shell stitch, or a scalloped edge as seen in your photo.

💡 Tips

• Block your squares before joining for a cleaner finish.
• Use a consistent yarn type and hook size to ensure squares are even.
• Lay out your squares before joining to balance color distribution.
