Sample Swatch:
Make a magic ring, and work 5 rounds of single crochet as the center base. The circle should measure approximately 2-2.5 cm (0.75-1 inch) across. The petal dimensions should stay in proportion to the base.

The Pattern Itself

1. The Middle Part (Base of the Flower)

Round 1:
- Make a magic ring (MR).
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 5 sc into circle.
- Pull tight to close the ring.
- Sl st to the first sc to join. (5 sts)
Round 2:
- Ch 1.
- Make 2 sc in each st all the way around. (10 sts)
- Sl st to the first sc to join.
Round 3:
- Ch 1.
- 1 sc in next st, then 2 sc in next st-repeat all the way around. (15 sts)
- Sl st to join.
- Cut yarn and use a tapestry needle for a seamless finish: Thread tail through last few stitches, then weave in to neaten the edge.

2. Creating the Petals (Tunisian Crochet, Repeat for Total of 5 Petals)

Begin First Petal:
- Attach yarn to any stitch of the base's final round.
- Ch 5 for the petal foundation.
- Turn.
Petal Foundation Row:
- Insert hook into the back bump of each chain (starting with second ch from hook), yo, pull up a loop-repeat for all 5 chains.
- Also pick up a loop from the base stitch that the chain is attached to (6 loops on hook).
Tunisian Return Pass (for every row):
- Yo, pull through one loop (this is the turning chain).
- Then yo, pull through two loops-repeat this until only one loop remains (this loop stays on the hook for the next row).
Rows 2-5:
- Each row, work Tss by inserting the hook under the front vertical bar of each "stitch" from the previous row, yo, pull up a loop (keep loops on hook).
- Complete each row with the return pass as described above.
Row 6 (Reduction Row):
- Skip the first vertical bar (this decreases the width to shape the petal).
- Work Tss to the end, picking up loops as before, and complete return pass-petal will have a gentle taper.
Edge Finishing:
- Slip stitch along both long edges of the petal, following natural curve, to neaten and provide slight stiffness.
- Fasten off and weave in end at base.
Repeat all petal steps 4 more times, spacing each new petal evenly around the flower base (into next available stitch from base). This creates a rounded, full flower effect.

3. Assembly & Finishing

Making a Second Flower Piece:
- Repeat ALL above steps (Rounds 1-3 for base, all 5 petals) to create a second, identical flower.
Joining the Two Flowers:
- Place both flower units back-to-back (wrong sides facing in).
- Using a tapestry needle and a long yarn tail, sew the two flower pieces together by stitching through the back loops only of the final round of each base (this creates a subtle, tidy seam).
- Leave a small opening.
Stuffing:
- Insert a small portion of fiberfill into the center between the flowers. Distribute evenly-avoid overstuffing to maintain the shape.
Closing:
- Stitch the seam closed using back loops as before, weave in the end securely.
Keychain Loop:
- Attach yarn to the tip of one petal (or directly to the outer edge seam).
- Ch 40 to create a long handle/loop.
- Attach end to the same spot with a slip stitch or sew to secure.
- Weave in all yarn tails neatly inside the flower.

Assembly & Additional Details

Attach a metal jump ring and keyring to the loop for a functional accessory.
Adjust the tightness of each petal's starting chain or the reduction row if you want wider or narrower petals.
Firm slip stitch edges ensure petals stay upright and maintain their delicate contour.
For a decorative touch, change petal colors on each flower for playful results.
