The Crochet Pattern

Step 1: Start with a Slip Knot

  1. Wrap the yarn around your pinky finger (from front to back), then over your index finger (from back to front).
  2. Pinch the twist between your thumb and middle finger.
  3. Place the hook under the yarn, pull it through, and tighten to create a loop on the hook.

Step 2: Form the Foundation Ring

  1. CH 6: Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat 5 more times to make 6 chains in total.
  2. Create a ring: Insert the hook into the first chain, yarn over, and pull through both loops to join with a SS.

Step 3: First Petal

Part 1: Begin the Petal

  1. Insert the hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop (2 loops on the hook).
  2. Yarn over and pull through both loops to create 1 SC.

Part 2: Add Chains and Double Trebles
3. CH 3 (Yarn over, pull through 3 times).

  1. Work 1 DT:
    • Yarn over 3 times, insert the hook into the ring, and pull up a loop (5 loops on the hook).
    • Yarn over, pull through 2 loops (4 loops remain).
    • Continue yarning over and pulling through 2 loops until 1 loop remains.
  2. Repeat 2 more DTs into the same ring, bringing each stitch close to the others.

Part 3: Complete the Petal
6. CH 3 again.

  1. Work 1 SC into the ring as follows:
    • Insert the hook into the ring, pull up a loop (2 loops on the hook).
    • Yarn over and pull through both loops.

Step 4: Remaining Petals (Repeat)

  1. For each of the next 4 petals, repeat the following sequence:
    • CH 3.
    • Work 3 DT into the ring, one at a time, bringing each stitch closer to the previous ones.
    • CH 3.
    • Work 1 SC into the ring.
  2. Ensure you have 5 petals in total.

Step 5: Finish the Round

  1. After completing the 5th petal with its CH 3, make a SS at the top of the first SC of the first petal:
    • Insert your hook under the 2 loops at the top of that first SC, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook.
  2. Fasten off:
    • CH 1, then cut the yarn.
    • Pull the hook to tighten the knot.

Assembly

Step 1: Secure the Tail Ends

  1. Flip the flower to the back side.
  2. Tie the starting and ending tails together securely, but not too tightly to avoid puckering the flower.

Step 2: Hide the Tails

  1. Using a yarn needle, weave the ends into the stitches at the back of the flower:
    • Insert the needle under a few stitches, pull it through, and repeat in the opposite direction for added security.
    • Trim any excess yarn.

Finished Size

This charming crochet flower will measure approximately 3–4 inches in diameter and can vary depending on your yarn and hook size.
