The brilliance of this design lies in its textured, multi-layered petals and accessible structure.
Starting with a magic ring, the design builds a solid foundation using 14 double crochets.
Each stunning petal is formed by grouping incomplete triple crochets, which are then worked together to create a rich, voluminous shape.

Introduction
The video introduces a step-by-step guide to crafting a seven-petal flower charm. By using a "magic ring" foundation and a unique "incomplete triple crochet" technique for the petals, the tutor creates a textured, 3D effect that makes the flower stand out as a stylish accessory.
Materials
-
Yarn: Two contrasting colors of wool (the tutor uses yellow for the center and pink for the petals).
-
Crochet Hook: A standard crochet hook suitable for the yarn weight.
-
Tools: Scissors and a tapestry needle for hiding yarn tails.
Step-by-Step Details
1. Crafting the Flower Center
-
Start by creating a magic ring [00:10].
-
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
-
Work 14 double crochets into the ring [00:45].
-
Pull the yarn tail to tighten the ring and join with a slip stitch.
-
Cut the thread and hide the ends [01:23].
2. Forming the Petals (The "Petal Cluster" Technique)
-
Join the second color to any chain of the center.
-
Chain 5 [02:14].
-
In the same stitch, work 6 incomplete triple crochets. To do this, wrap the yarn twice, pull through two loops twice, but leave the final loop on the hook [02:44].
-
Once you have 7 loops on your hook, pull the yarn through two loops at a time (total of 6 times) to create a ribbed, mesh-like petal base [03:56].
-
Finishing the Petal Edge: Work 1 single crochet into the spaces between the triple crochet bars. In the center-most space, work "1 single crochet, 2 chains, 1 single crochet" to create a pointed tip [04:34].
-
Finish the petal by chaining 5 and slip stitching back into the same base stitch [04:47].
3. Completing the Round
-
Skip one chain of the center circle.
-
Slip stitch into the next chain and repeat the petal process [05:08].
-
Continue until you have 7 petals spaced around the yellow center [07:58].
4. The Hanging Chain
-
After the final petal, do not cut the yarn.
-
Chain 45 (or adjust the length based on your preference for the bag charm) [09:22].
-
Slip stitch the end of the chain back into the flower's base to form a loop.
-
Secure the yarn, cut, and weave in all remaining ends [10:03].
Special Features
-
Dimensional Petals: The use of incomplete triple crochets pulled through in stages gives each petal a unique, woven texture that is more substantial than standard flat crochet flowers.
-
Adjustable Design: The tutor explains that by increasing the initial double crochet count (e.g., to 16 or 18), you can easily create flowers with 8 or 9 petals [08:07].
Level of Difficulty
-
Easy/Beginner: The project uses standard stitches (double crochet, triple crochet, single crochet). The "incomplete triple crochet" sequence is the most technical part, but the tutor demonstrates it slowly and clearly.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Size Variance: Start with more than 14 double crochets if you want a larger flower with more petals.
-
Consistency: Ensure you skip exactly one chain between petals to keep the flower symmetrical and flat [08:07].
Uses
-
Bag Charm: To decorate handbags, backpacks, or purses.
-
Keychains: Attach a metal ring to the chain loop.
-
Home Decor: Use them as curtain tie-backs or kitchen decorations.
-
Hair Accessories: Attach the flower to a hair tie or clip [10:13].
Conclusion
This crochet flower is a versatile and quick project that adds a handmade touch to everyday items. Its structured petals and easy-to-follow pattern make it a satisfying craft for anyone looking to practice new textures in crochet while producing a functional accessory.
Pro Tip
When working the 6 incomplete triple crochets into a single base stitch, keep your tension slightly loose. If the stitches are too tight, it will be difficult to pull the yarn through the final loops, and the petal may warp or pull the center circle out of shape. [03:25]
