Wonderful Crochet Flower

That’s a crochet puff petal flower (sometimes called a “3D daisy” or “loop petal flower”). 🌸
Here’s how you can make it step-by-step:

---

🧶 Materials Needed

• Yarn: 2 colors — one for the flower center (yellow) and one for the petals (purple or mint).
• Hook: 3.0–3.5 mm (adjust depending on yarn thickness).
• Yarn needle and scissors.

🌼 Step 1: Crochet the Center Circle

This will be the flat round middle part.

1. Magic ring, or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
   • Make 12 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
   • Pull the ring tight and join with sl st to the first sc.
3. Round 2 (optional, if you want it a bit bigger):
   • Chain 1.
   • Make 2 sc in each stitch around (24 sc total).
   • Join with sl st, fasten off, and cut the yarn.

👉 This forms the yellow circle like in your mint flower.

🌸 Step 2: Start the Petals (the purple or mint part)

Now, you’ll make the puffed 3D petals.

1. Attach the petal color yarn to any stitch on the center circle.
2. Chain 12–15 (the longer the chain, the longer your petals).
3. Make loops for the puff petal:
   • Yarn over, insert the hook into the base stitch (the same stitch where you attached the yarn).
   • Pull up a long loop (about 2.5–3 cm high).
   • Repeat this (yarn over, insert hook into same stitch, pull up a long loop) 6–7 times total in the same stitch.
   • You’ll now have many loops on your hook.
4. Yarn over and carefully pull through all loops on the hook.
5. Chain 1 to secure the petal.

🌼 Step 3: Move to the Next Petal

1. Skip one stitch on the base circle.
2. Insert hook into the next stitch and make a slip stitch to anchor the petal.
3. Repeat Steps 2–5 all the way around the center:
   • Chain 12–15.
   • Make 6–7 long loops in the same base stitch.
   • Yarn over, pull through all loops.
   • Chain 1 to lock.
   • Skip one stitch, sl st in next.

Keep going until you complete the circle.

🌸 Step 4: Finishing the Flower

1. Once all petals are done, join with a sl st to the base of the first petal.
2. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
3. Gently shape the petals with your fingers — they will curl naturally into a spiral or round flower shape.
4. (Optional) Crochet a small round piece in yellow and sew it to the back center if you want a fuller daisy look (like in your mint one).

🌿 Optional Decoration Ideas

• Attach a hair tie or brooch pin on the back.
