Pattern Instructions

First Layer (Petal Base)

2. Ch 4 (counts as first dc + ch-1 space).
3. Work 3 dc into the ring.
4. Ch 4.
5. Sl st into the ring to anchor the petal.
6. Ch 4.
7. Repeat [3 dc, ch 4, sl st, ch 4] into the ring four more times to create a total of 5 petals.
8. After the last ch-4, sl st into the magic ring.
9. Cut the yarn, pull through, and tighten the magic ring to close the center.
10. Weave in ends or secure at the back with a knot.

Second Layer (Contrasting Petals)

11. Join color B with a sl st in the space between two petals (or between dc groups).
12. Ch 5.

Conclusion

This bold two-layer crochet flower works up quickly and can be customized with different colors and yarn weights. Use it for appliqués, hair clips, home décor, or any project that needs a cheerful touch.

Pattern Correction

• Each petal in the first round consists of 3 dc and ch-4, not 4 dc as sometimes occurs by accident.
• Be sure to insert your hook clearly between petal groups when working the second layer for even placement.
• The "double high point" translates to treble crochet (tr) in US terms for the outer petals.

Tips

• Do not pull the magic ring too tight at first; leave room to work stitches into the ring, then secure and tighten when flower is complete.
• For more texture, use a thicker yarn for the second layer or alternate petal colors.
• Block your finished flower gently with steam or pinning, if desired, to shape the petals perfectly.
