Step 2: Flower Petals (Make 5)

Attach the bright pink yarn (Alize cotton gold 33) to the front loops of the flower center. You will create 5 petals, each worked over 3 stitches.

  1. Row 1: [In front loops only] Inc, 1 sc, inc. (5 sc)
  2. Row 2: CH 1, turn. 1 sc, inc, inc, inc, 1 sc. (8 sc)
  3. Row 3: CH 1, turn. 1 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 1 sc. (10 sc)

  5. Row 9: CH 1, turn. 1 sc, skip a stitch, 6 sc, skip a stitch, 1 sc. (8 sc)
  6. Row 10: CH 1, turn. 1 sc, skip a stitch, 4 sc, skip a stitch, 1 sc. (6 sc)

  8. Row 12: CH 1, turn. Skip a stitch, HDC, sl st, HDC, sl st.

After finishing the first petal, slip stitch back to the base and start the next petal in the next 3 stitches of the flower center. Repeat until you have 5 petals.

Important Tip: If you struggle with crocheting tightly, it’s better to make standard decreases (dec) instead of skipping stitches in rows 9, 10, 11, and 12 for a neater finish.
