Step 1: Create the Magic Ring
Start by making a magic ring. Into the ring, work 12 single crochet stitches. The magic ring lets us pull the center tight, forming a neat base for the flower.
Step 2: Close the First Round
After completing the 12 single crochets, join the round with a slip stitch into the first single crochet. This closes the loop neatly and sets us up for the next round.
Step 3: Begin the First Petal
In the first stitch of the round, chain 3. These chains will act as the starting height for the petal.
Step 4: Add a Double Crochet
In the same stitch (where you just made the chains), make a double crochet. This forms the first half of the petal.
Step 5: Complete the Petal
Move to the next stitch. In that stitch, make one double crochet, followed by three chain stitches, and finish with a slip stitch. This closes the first petal shape.
Step 6: Repeat Around the Center
Now that the first petal is done, we’ll repeat the same pattern around the circle. In the next unused stitch, make a slip stitch, then in that same stitch: chain 3 and add a double crochet. In the following stitch, work a double crochet, chain 3, and a slip stitch.
Repeat this sequence until all six petals are formed.
Step 7: Secure the Last Petal
To secure everything neatly, make one final slip stitch into the slip stitch from the first petal. This brings everything together.
To finish off, trim the yarn, pull it through the last loop, and weave in the ends with your tapestry needle.
Note: If you’re unsure about any stitches, it’s helpful to look up how to work a Magic Ring, Chain Stitch, Slip Stitch, Single Crochet, or Double Crochet before starting.
