Pattern

Center of Flower

  1. Begin with a magic ring/adjustable loop, leaving a long starting tail.
  2. Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a st), work 9 sc in the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring. Join with a sl st to the first ch-1 or first sc to close the round.
    [You should have 9 sc]

Forming Petals

You will work each petal around one single crochet from Round 1.

  1. Petal Foundation:
    • Ch 3,
    • In the same st as joining, work:
      • 2 tr (yarn over twice for each),
    • Ch 2,
    • In the same st, work:
      • 2 tr
    • Ch 3,
    • Sl st into the next sc stitch.
    • [First petal completed.]
  2. Repeat Petals:
    Repeat from "Ch 3..." to "sl st into next sc" in each remaining sc around (total 5 petals).
  3. After last petal, join with a sl st to the base of the first petal or into the first chain made at the beginning. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Finishing

  1. Weaving in Ends:
    Use the long starting and ending tails, as well as a tapestry/yarn needle, to weave in ends securely on the back of the flower.
  2. Adding Chain for Hanging (Optional):
    • With flower facing you and using a long yarn tail, insert hook through the back center of the flower.
    • Ch desired number of stitches (for a hanging loop, keychain, or to join flowers together).
    • Fasten off, weave in end.
  3. Adding Beads/Pearls (Optional):
    • Thread beads onto a yarn tail using a sewing needle.
    • Secure beads in the flower's center or along the chains as desired.
    • Tie knots closely to prevent beads slipping.

Pattern Correction and Tips

  • Tip: Leave extra-long yarn tails at the first and last points for easy finishing or multiple attachments.
  • Correction: If following along with video, ensure you count 9 sc in the center ring and that each petal uses only one single crochet unless you desire a fuller flower.
  • Tip: When making chains for hanging, ensure tails are long enough for the intended purpose-better to have more than not enough.
