Part 1 Motif 1 , Motif 2​ A​

Both Motif 1 and Motif 2  are divided into two sections. The first section is the octagon swatch at the bottom, and the second section is the central flower. Crochet the first section first, then work the second section in its center.

Step 1 Section 1  of Motif 1 and Motif 2 A1​ 01' 45'' (Part1) ​

Note:
① For the 2nd round, crochet through the back loop of the stitches from the 1st round;
② After completing the 7th round, measure the motif's size (diameter approximately 12.5cm). If it differs significantly from the sample, adjust your tension and re-crochet;
③ For Motif One, switch colors on the 12th round. After finishing the 11th round, break the yarn directly and join a new yarn at the corresponding position. Refer to the video tutorial for details.

Step 2 Section 2  of Motif 1 A2​ 53' 26'' (Part1) ​

For the third round, pick up and crochet in the back loops of the first round.

Part 2 Motif 3 A​

Motif 3 has two color schemes, and is also divided into the section 1  and the  section 2 .
