Materials You'll Need:

- Yarn in your desired color(s)

- Scissors


Step 1: Begin by making a slip knot with your yarn and then chaining 4. Slip stitch in the first chain to create a ring.


Step 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 more double crochet stitches into the center of the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.


Step 3: Chain 3 and then work a double crochet stitch in the next stitch. *Chain 2, skip the next stitch, and work 1 double crochet stitch in the following stitch. Repeat from * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.


Step 4: Slip stitch over to the first chain 2 space. Chain 3, work 3 double crochet stitches, chain 1, and then work 4 more double crochet stitches in the same chain 2 space. *Skip the next double crochet stitch and work 4 double crochet stitches, chain 1, and then 4 more double crochet stitches in the next chain 2 space. Repeat from * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.


Step 5: Slip stitch over to the first chain 1 space. Work 2 double crochet stitches, chain 2, and then work 2 more double crochet stitches in the same space. *Work 2 double crochet stitches in the next chain 1 space, chain 2, and then work 2 more double crochet stitches in the same space. Repeat from * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet stitch.


Step 6: Slip stitch over to the first chain 2 space. In the chain 2 space, work 1 single crochet stitch, 1 half double crochet stitch, 3 double crochet stitches, 1 half double crochet stitch, and then 1 single crochet stitch. *In the next chain 2 space, work 1 single crochet stitch, 1 half double crochet stitch, 3 double crochet stitches, 1 half double crochet stitch, and then 1 single crochet stitch. Repeat from * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet stitch.


Step 7: Cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Using a yarn needle, weave the tail in and out of the stitches in the back of the flower, then pull tight to cinch the center of the flower closed.


Step 8: To finish your flower, use the long tail to sew a button or bead to the center of the flower. This will add a decorative touch and cover the center of the flower where the stitches were cinched.
