Buy some square stock that matches the dimension of the largest end.
Use a mill if needed to re-size.
Use a mill to cut the smaller square section flats (it helps they are
referenced to the faces of the large square section)
Use a lathe to turn down the middle section to the correct diameter.
Trim to length (mill/lathe parting tool/hacksaw).

I think the middle section is 14mm diameter (7mm radius) based on your
sketch.

Dimensions are flexible but the one I used for the image are 10mm (1st
square),10mm radius, 14mm (2nd square)
