🌼 DETAILED CROCHET TUTORIAL

🧵 Materials

• Yarn in 3 colors:
  • Cream or white (center)
  • Red (petals)
  • Green (leaves/border)
• Crochet hook (2.5 mm–3.5 mm)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle for weaving ends

🔹 Round 1: Flower Center

1. Make a magic ring.
   (If you don’t know magic ring: chain 4, then slip stitch into first chain to form a small ring.)
2. Chain 3 — counts as your first double crochet (dc).
3. Crochet 11 more double crochets into the ring.
   → You’ll have 12 dc total (including the starting chain 3).
4. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
5. Slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the chain 3 to close the round.
6. Cut yarn and fasten off.

🪡 Tip: Use cream or light yellow yarn here.

🔹 Round 2: Red Flower Petals

1. Attach red yarn to any stitch.
2. Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc).
3. In the same stitch: 2 more dc (so 3 dc total).
4. Chain 2, then in the next stitch: 3 dc again.
5. Repeat this — 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next stitch — around the circle.
   • You’ll form 6 red petals total.
6. Slip stitch to the top of your first chain 3 to close the round.

🎀 Now you have a red flower with open corners (chain spaces).

🔹 Round 3: Green Leaves (Square Shape)

1. Join green yarn into any chain space (the corner between petals).
2. Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc), then make 2 dc more in the same space.
3. Chain 2, then make 3 dc again in the same space → this forms the first corner.
4. In the next chain space: 3 dc only (this forms the side).
5. Continue around as follows:
   • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) → corner
   • 3 dc → side
   • Repeat until you have 4 corners.
6. Slip stitch to join to the starting chain 3.
7. Cut yarn and weave in all ends.

🌿 Now your piece looks like the image — a red flower with a green border (a little square shape).

✂️ Finishing Touch

• Use your yarn needle to hide all loose ends on the back.
• Block it flat if you want it to look even.

• Sewing with a tapestry needle.
