Here is a step-by-step tutorial to make the beautiful floral hexagon motif shown in your picture. I will explain it clearly so you can follow easily.

🌺 DETAILED CROCHET TUTORIAL — FLORAL HEXAGON MOTIF

Stitches Used

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• FPdc = front post double crochet
• FPtr = front post treble crochet

---

🌼 ROUND 1 — INNER STAR CENTER (Color A: cream)

1. Make MR.
2. Ch 2 (does not count).
3. Work 12 dc inside the ring.
4. Pull ring tight.
5. Join with sl st → 12 stitches total.

✔ This gives the small spiky star center.

---

🌹 ROUND 2 — FIRST PETAL LAYER (Color B: red)

You will create “triangular petals.”

1. Attach color B to any dc.
2. In each stitch around:
   • dc
   • tr
   • dc
     (all in the same stitch)
3. Repeat 12 times = 36 stitches (12 groups).
4. Join with sl st.

✔ You now have 12 sharp red petals radiating outward.

---

💮 ROUND 3 — SECOND PETAL LAYER (Color C: peach)

This round sits behind the red petals.

Work in the posts of previous round:

1. Insert hook behind the red petal into the post of the red tr.
2. Ch 2 (counts as hdc).
3. In the same post:
   • hdc, dc, dc
4. Move to next petal post:
   • dc, dc, hdc, hdc
     (mirrors the first half)

So each petal = 8 stitches behind the red petal.

Repeat for 12 petals.
Join with sl st.

✔ This forms soft peach petal shadows behind the red ones.

---

♠️ ROUND 4 — BLACK PETAL OUTLINE (Color F: black)

This creates the swirling black loops.

1. Insert hook between two peach petal groups.
2. Ch 4.
3. Make 1 long sc into the dip between next two peach petals
   (insert hook deep, pulling up long loop).
4. Ch 4 again.
5. Repeat this all the way around:
   (ch 4 → long sc) × 12
6. Join with sl st.

✔ You should have 12 black arches circling the motif.

---

🌸 ROUND 5 — PETAL FANS (Color D: pink)

Fill the black arches:

1. Into each ch-4 loop:
   • 2 dc, 3 tr, 2 dc (total 7 stitches)
2. Into each long sc:
   • 1 sc

Repeat all around. Join.

✔ This builds the delicate pink petal fans framed by black.

---

🔲 ROUND 6 — TRANSITION ROUND (Color F: black)

This anchors everything and prepares for the hexagon shape.

1. Attach black yarn to any sc.
2. Sc in each stitch around.
3. Increase every 10 stitches:
   • 2 sc in next st

Do this 12 times around the circle.

Total stitches ≈ 144 (varies slightly by tension).

✔ The round becomes evenly spread and slightly polygonal.

---

⬡ ROUND 7 — FORM THE HEXAGON (Color E: white/mint)

You will now create the 6 sides.

1. Attach color E to any stitch.
2. Ch 3 (counts as dc).
3. Dc in next 11 stitches.
4. Make corner:
   • (dc, ch 2, dc) in next stitch
5. Repeat:
   • dc in next 11 stitches
   • corner (dc, ch2, dc)

Repeat for 6 sides total.
Join with sl st.

✔ Your motif is now a perfect hexagon.

---

✨ OPTIONAL — ROUND 8 (for stronger edges)

If you want cleaner edges:

• Work hdc in each stitch around,
• (hdc, ch1, hdc) in each corner.

---

🧵 JOINING MOTIFS

Use black (F) for joining so the motifs pop.

Option 1 — Join-As-You-Go

When working the last round of a new motif:

• Replace each “ch2” corner with ch1 + sl st into corner of neighbor + ch1.
• Slip stitch into side stitches to join neatly.

Option 2 — Sew

• Use whipstitch or mattress stitch on the back.
• Use black for invisible seams.
