Step-by-Step Guide:

Preparing Round 1: forming the magic ring and initial double crochets.

Round 1 — Center (Brown color):

Start by creating a magic ring.

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).

Make 11 double crochets into the magic ring (Total = 12 double crochets including chain 3).

Pull the ring closed.

Slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 to close the round.

Cut the yarn and secure.

Completed center: a neat round of 12 double crochets ready for the petal round.

Round 2 — Petals (Light Orange color):

Attach the light orange yarn to any double crochet from round 1.

Chain 2 (counts towards the first puff stitch).

Make a puff stitch in each double crochet around (12 puff stitches total). Note: For the first puff stitch, you do two yarn overs, for the rest, do three yarn overs.

Slip stitch to the first puff stitch to close the round.

Cut the yarn and secure.

Puff-stitch petals: light orange petals forming a textured sunflower.

Round 3 — Petal Tips (Yellow color):

Attach yellow yarn in between any puff stitches from round 2.

Chain 3 (counts as the first unfinished double crochet).

In each space around, make 4 unfinished double crochets (except in the first space, where you make 3 plus the chain 3).

Pull through all loops and chain 2 between each cluster.

Do this for all spaces to get 12 clusters around.

Slip stitch to the top of the first cluster to close the round.

Cut the yarn and secure.

Round 4 — Edge/Outer Shape (Darker Green color):

Attach dark green yarn in between any cluster spaces from round 3.

Chain 4 (counts as the first triple crochet).

Complete the corner by making 2 triple crochets, chain 2, and 3 more triple crochets in the same space.

For the straight edge, make 3 double crochets in the next space.

Repeat the pattern of corners and edges around the hexagon.

Slip stitch to the top of the chain 4 to close the round.

Cut the yarn and secure.

Finished hexagon: sunflower motif with yellow petal tips and a green outer edge, forming the hexagon shape.

Weave in all ends.
