Crochet Hexagon Sunflower Granny Square
Each stitch is like a ray of sunshine, and together, they create a blanket or scarf that can wrap you in warmth and cheer, no matter how chilly it gets outside. Crafting one is like weaving your very own piece of sunlight, using nothing but yarn and a crochet hook, turning your gloomy days into fields of sunflowers that never stop smiling.

Round 2 - Petals (Light Orange color):
- Attach the light orange yarn to any double crochet from round 1.

For Round 3 - Petal Tips (Yellow color):
