Materials & Tools Needed
- Yarn: Medium worsted-weight (Category 4) yarn in your choice of flower and center colors. Smooth, solid-colored yarns work best for seeing your stitches clearly.
- Crochet Hook: US Size H/8 (5.0 mm) or a size appropriate for your chosen yarn.
- Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and a pair of sharp scissors.
Abbreviations & Pattern Notes
- US Terms
- ch: chain
- sl st: slip stitch
- sc: single crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- dc: double crochet
- st(s): stitch(es)
- Note: We will work entirely in the round, starting from a central ring and building the petals outward. Don’t worry about perfection; block or gently shape your finished flower with your fingers when done!
Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- Round 1 (Center): Using your center color, create a magic ring (or ch 4 and sl st to the first ch to form a ring). Ch 1, and work 10 sc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off the center color. (10 sts)
- Round 2 (Petals): Join your petal color in any stitch around the center ring. Ch 1, then work the first petal directly into that same stitch: *(2 dc, ch 2, sl st) all in the same stitch.*
- Repeat the petal instructions in each stitch around the ring, working *(2 dc, ch 2, sl st)* into every single stitch. You will end up with a total of 10 lovely petals.
- Join with a sl st to the base of the first petal.
- Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch tail for weaving in or sewing your flower onto your next project.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Weave securely: Use your yarn needle to weave in all loose ends on the back of the flower so your petals stay neat and secure.
- Control your tension: Keep your stitches relatively loose during Round 2 to ensure your petals lay flat and have a nice, organic drape.
- Play with colors: Try using variegated yarn for the petals to get a gorgeous multi-toned flower effect without changing yarn colors mid-project.
- Attach easily: Leave a longer yarn tail when you fasten off if you plan on immediately sewing your flower onto a hat, scarf, or bag.
