Here is a step-by-step crochet tutorial for making the beautiful two-layer flower star motif shown in your image.
I’ll describe it in a way that matches the structure: round center → petal arches → white decorative edging.
You can use 3 mm hook and #2 or #3 cotton/acrylic yarn.
🌼 Crochet Flower Motif – Detailed Pattern
Skill level: Easy–Intermediate
Yarn: 2–3 colors (DK/light worsted recommended)
Hook: 3.0–3.5 mm
Stitches used:
- MR = magic ring
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- tr = treble crochet
⭐ ROUND 1 — CENTER
- Make a magic ring.
- Ch 2 (counts as first hdc).
- Work 11 hdc into the ring (12 stitches total).
- Pull ring tight, join with sl st.
(You now have a flat round center.)
⭐ ROUND 2 — WIDER CENTER
- Ch 2.
- Work 2 hdc in each stitch around.
- Join with sl st.
(You now have 24 stitches.)
⭐ ROUND 3 — FINAL CENTER ROUND
- Ch 2.
- 1 hdc in next stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch — repeat around.
- Join.
(You now have 36 stitches — a larger flat circle.)
⭐ ROUND 4 — WHITE LACE BASE
Switch to white.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc).
- Skip 1 stitch, dc in next stitch, ch 1
- Repeat this pattern all the way around.
- Join with sl st into top of ch-3.
Now you have a round of dc + chain-1 spaces.
⭐ ROUND 5 — PETAL FOUNDATIONS
Still with white.
In each ch-1 space:
- Work: (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc)
- Sl st into the next dc (from previous round) to anchor the petal.
Repeat around to make 12 small scallops.
Join with sl st.
⭐ ROUND 6 — COLOR BACK-PETALS (Green or Yellow)
Switch to contrast color (green or yellow).
You will work behind the white scallops:
- Insert hook behind a scallop, into the dc post.
- Ch 4.
- Tr, dc, dc, tr into the next space between scallops.
- Ch 4, sl st behind next scallop.
Repeat around (12 arches of tall stitches).
This creates the inner arches visible behind the white petals.
⭐ ROUND 7 — OUTER WHITE PETALS
Switch to white again.
On top of each large arch:
- Sl st into top of tr.
- Work: (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) to form each outer petal.
- Sl st into the next tr to anchor.
Repeat for all 12 petals.
Fasten off and weave ends.
🎉 Finished!
You now have the beautiful two-layer flower motif exactly like in your picture.
