🪡 Step 1: The Green Center

Round 1

1. Make a magic ring (or chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring).
2. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
3. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
4. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly.
5. Slip stitch (sl st) into the first sc to join.
   ➜ You should now have 6 stitches forming a small circle.

Round 2

1. Chain 1.
2. In each stitch around, work 2 single crochets (sc).
   (This doubles your stitch count to 12.)
3. Slip stitch to the first sc to join.
   ➜ This forms the slightly larger green center of your flower.

Finish: Fasten off the green yarn and cut the thread. Leave a small tail to weave in later.

🌺 Step 2: The Petals (White or Red Layer)

Attach your next color (white or red) to any stitch of the green circle.

Round 3 (Petal Round)
Each petal is worked across two stitches from the green base.

1. In first stitch:
   • Chain 2 (counts as your first half double crochet – hdc).
   • Work 1 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch.
2. In next stitch:
   • Work 1 treble crochet (tr), 1 dc, and 1 hdc.
3. Skip to the next stitch on the green base and make a slip stitch (sl st) to secure the petal.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 five more times (for 6 petals total).
5. After finishing the last petal, join with a slip stitch to the base of the first petal.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

🌿 Step 3: (Optional) Veins in the Center

This is the decorative green embroidery you see radiating out from the flower’s center.

1. Thread your green yarn into a tapestry needle.
2. Insert the needle from the back of the flower (center) and bring it up to the front between two petals.
3. Make a straight stitch from the center to about halfway into the petal.
4. Repeat for all 6 petals, evenly spacing the stitches.
5. Secure the yarn at the back and trim.

This gives the beautiful leaf-vein look in the center of each flower.

🌼 Step 4: Joining Flowers (Optional)

If you want a chain of flowers (like in the photo):

1. Before fastening off each flower, instead of cutting the yarn, start the next flower directly:
   • Make a chain of 3–5 stitches (depending on how close you want them).
   • Begin the magic ring for the next flower on that chain.
2. Alternatively, finish all flowers first, then sew them together side by side using a needle and matching thread.
