Conclusion
This 3D motif serves as a versatile block for larger modular projects. The final look is a crisp, geometric square with a soft, protruding floral center that adds a modern twist to traditional crochet techniques.
Pro-Tip
When working the Puff Stitches in Round 2, try to pull your loops up to the same height every time. If your loops are uneven, your petals will look lopsided. Using your thumb to hold the loops on the hook as you pull them up helps maintain consistent tension.
