🌼 Crochet Flower (6 Petals) – Detailed Step-by-Step
Materials
- Yarn: Medium (No. 3 or No. 4) cotton or acrylic
- Hook: 3.0mm–4.0mm (match your yarn)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Step 1 — Make the Center
You can use any color. (Example: green)
- Make a Magic Ring
- Wrap yarn around your fingers
- Insert hook, pull yarn through, chain 1 to secure
- Chain 1 (does not count as stitch)
- Work 6 Single Crochet (sc) into the magic ring.
- Count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Pull the yarn tail to close the ring.
- Slip Stitch (sl st) into the 1st sc to close round.
→ You now have 6 stitches around the circle.
If you want different color petals, change yarn here.
Step 2 — Petals Round
You will make one petal into each stitch from Round 1.
Petal Pattern (repeat 6 times):
Into the next stitch:
sl st, ch 2, 3 dc in same stitch, ch 2, sl st in same stitch
So for each stitch:
- Slip stitch (to anchor)
- Chain 2 (to lift height)
- 3 Double Crochet (dc) in the same stitch (this creates petal thickness)
- Chain 2
- Slip stitch again in the same stitch (to close petal)
Do this into each of the 6 stitches.
You will see petals forming one by one around the circle.
Step 3 — Finishing
- Cut yarn
- Pull through last loop to knot
- Weave ends with needle
- Shape petals gently with fingers
Your flower is complete! 🌸
