✨ Instructions

🌸 Round 1 – Center Circle

1. Make a magic ring.
   (If you don’t use a magic ring, chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.)
2. Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet).
3. Make 11 more double crochets (dc) into the ring.
   ➤ You’ll have 12 dc total (counting the first chain 2).
4. Pull the magic ring tight.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the first dc to close the round.
6. Cut the yarn if you want to change color, or continue with the same color.

🌸 Round 2 – Expanding the Center

1. Attach your yarn (same color as Round 1 or a new one).
2. Chain 2 (counts as 1 dc).
3. Work 1 dc in the same stitch (increase made).
4. Then make 2 dc in each stitch around.
   ➤ You’ll have 24 dc total.
5. Slip stitch to the top of the first dc to close the round.

This gives you a nice solid circle for the flower center.

🌸 Round 3 – Setting Up Petal Spaces

1. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
2. Single crochet (sc) in the same stitch, chain 3, skip 1 stitch.
3. Repeat around: sc, ch 3, skip 1.
   ➤ You’ll get 12 chain-3 spaces.
4. Slip stitch to the first sc to close the round.
   Now you have small “loops” that will become your petal bases.

🌸 Round 4 – Forming Petals (Color B)

1. Change to your second color (e.g. cream or white).
2. In each ch-3 space, work the following stitches:
   • 1 sc
   • 1 half double crochet (hdc)
   • 3 double crochets (dc)
   • 1 hdc
   • 1 sc
     → This makes a petal shape.
3. Repeat the same petal pattern in each chain-3 space around.
4. Slip stitch into the first sc to close.
   Now you have 12 petals forming a full flower!

🌸 Round 5 – Petal Outline (Optional Decoration)

You can add a delicate edge like in the picture (white around the petals).

1. Stay with the same color (or change back to the lighter shade).
2. Chain 1.
3. Work around the outer edge as follows:
   • (sc, picot [ch 2, sl st in first ch], sc) on the top of each petal.
   • (sc) in the small space between petals.
4. Repeat around.
5. Slip stitch to the first sc to close.
6. Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly.

🌟 Optional Round 6 (Star Edge – if you want more points)

To make it look sharper like a sun/star:

1. In each petal tip: (sc, ch 4, sl st in first ch, sc) to make pointed spikes.
2. Continue around and join with a slip stitch.

🌈 Final Step – Blocking

Lay your motif flat, lightly spray with water, and pin it in shape to dry.
This helps it stay crisp and even.
