Pattern for 12” but I am making afghan with 9” blocks, so using G hook and Simply Soft (sold as worsted weight-4 but it’s really sport weight-3 according to my WPI).

This is one of my favorites! I loved doing this block so much that I will do another for my mom’s afghan.

Now, don’t be a dufus like I was. I struggled with trying to figure out how the petals connected, and it was only after I finished that I saw again (and then remembered!) that the lovely Ms. MacInnis provides two options - a short version (which I had downloaded), AND a photo tutorial (which I hadn’t, and then I forgot about it). Banging my head on the computer. My confusion would have been solved in the blink of an eye!

Refer to Lettice’s Peace Lily for the addition of bullions and her “how-to”.
