- Switch to your second color yarn and pull the new yarn through the final loops, securing the color change.
→ You now have the circular base of the flower ready, with color added for the petals.
Part 2: Crochet the Petals
- First Petal:
- Chain 4 ch from the last slip stitch.
- Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the first stitch of the base, and crochet a dbl loop dc (you will have 4 loops on the hook; yarn over and remove loops in pairs until a single loop remains).
- Chain 4 ch again and complete the petal by slip stitching into the same base stitch.
