Materials:

• Yarn of choice
• Crochet hook–pick a size that would be best for your yarn size (I used a size I/9 5.5MM)
• Scissors

Crochet Abbreviations: 

SC – Single Crochet

HDC – Half Double Crochet

DC – Double Crochet

 

Step 1:

Make a slip knot. Chain 6 and join in the round.

  

Step 2:

DC in center round 16 times total.

Step 3:

Chain 7. DC into next two chains.

  

Step 4:

Chain 4. DC into next two chains. Repeat until you have 8 petal bases. On the last one, you’ll only complete one DC in the next chain because you’ll be connecting it to the first loop.

  

  

Step 5:

Slip stitch into the next petal loop space. SC, HDC, DC 5 times, HDC, SC. Slip Stitch into the next petal space and repeat pattern: SC, HDC, DC 5 times, HDC, SC. It will create a fan shape inside each space to fill out the petals to the flower.

  

Step 6:

Slip stitch in the next 3 chain space to connect the beginning and ending petals together. Cut the working yarn.

  

Step 7:

Feed the cut yarn through the loop to tie off neatly. Pull the middle round tight with your first yarn tail to close up the middle. Weave in ends.
