Pattern Instructions:
Step 1: Create the Center

- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. Pull the magic ring tight if used. (10 stitches)
Step 2: Form the Petals
- Chain 3 (counts as the first treble crochet, tr). Work 2 treble crochets (tr) into the next stitch.
- Chain 3, slip stitch into the same stitch to complete the petal.
- Repeat the following around the circle:
- Slip stitch into the next stitch.
- Chain 3, work 2 treble crochets into the same stitch.
- Chain 3, slip stitch into the same stitch.
- Continue until you have 5 petals in total. (Adjust the number of petals as desired.)
Step 3: Finish Off
- After completing the last petal, slip stitch into the base of the first petal to close the round.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail. Use the yarn needle to weave in the ends.
Optional Enhancements:
- Use multiple colors by changing yarn after the center round.
- Add a bead or button to the center of the flower for an extra touch.
- Stiffen the flower using fabric stiffener if you plan to use it for accessories like pins or hair clips.

- Create a bouquet by attaching the flowers to stems made of wire.
- Use them as table decor for a vibrant and handmade touch.
