This square builds outward like a blooming flower, each round lifting the shape with layered petals that sit neatly on top of one another. The final rounds frame the motif into a clean, bold square that works beautifully for blankets, bags, and standout statement pieces. The design feels crisp, structured, and modern while keeping that classic handmade charm.
