Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Cosmic Spiral Puff Stitch Flower:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the yarn in your hand and wrap it around your fingers to create a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
   • Chain 1 to secure the magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Using the deep navy yarn, work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the first sc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 2 sc in each stitch around (total of 12 sc).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc to close the round.
4. Round 3:
   • Switch to silver yarn.
   • Chain 1.
   • For this round, you will alternate between puff stitches and single crochets:
   • Work a puff stitch in the next stitch: yarn over, insert hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops (2 loops remain on hook), yarn over and pull up a loop again, yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops (3 loops remain), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
   • Now, work 1 sc in the next stitch.
   • Repeat from * around the entire round, ending with a sl st to the first puff stitch.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 1.
   • For this round, you will work puff stitches in each puff stitch and single crochets in each single crochet:
   • Work a puff stitch in each puff stitch and a sc in each sc around.
   • Join with a sl st to the first puff stitch to close the round.
6. Round 5:
   • Switch to lavender yarn.
   • Chain 1.
   • Repeat the same pattern as Round 4: work a puff stitch in each puff stitch and a sc in each sc around.
   • Join with a sl st to the first puff stitch to close the round.
7. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
   • Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to secure your work.
