Tutor’s Suggestions
- Magic Ring: Maddie acknowledges that the magic ring can be a bit tricky for beginners. She recommends practicing it or refers to a more detailed magic ring tutorial in the video description for additional help.

- Yarn and Hook Pairing: Ensure that your crochet hook is suited to the yarn you’ve chosen for better consistency and ease of work.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Start with the Magic Ring
- Hold the yarn tail with your left hand and wrap the longer strand around two fingers to form an X. Hold the long strand with your pinky for tension.
- Insert the hook under the first loop of the X, grab the second loop with your hook, and pull it through, twisting your hook upward to form a loop.
- Yarn over with the long strand, pull through the loop on your hook, and remove it from your fingers. You now have a magic ring. If this is challenging, practice until you’re comfortable.
2. Add the First Chains
- Make 2 chains:
- Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat to create a second chain.
- Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat to create a second chain.
3. Create the First Petal
- Two Double Crochets into the Magic Ring:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over again, and pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook).
- Yarn over, pull through the first two loops, and then yarn over to pull through the final two loops. Repeat for the second double crochet.
- Two Chains:
- Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook twice to make two chains.
- Slip Stitch:
- Insert your hook into the magic ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop (2 loops on the hook). Pull the first loop through the second loop. Your first petal is complete.
- Insert your hook into the magic ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop (2 loops on the hook). Pull the first loop through the second loop. Your first petal is complete.
4. Repeat for Remaining Petals
- Create a total of five petals using the same process:
- Chain 2.
- Make 2 double crochets into the magic ring.
- Chain 2 again.
- Complete the petal with a slip stitch.
- As the petals are added, adjust the size of your magic ring if needed by pulling the yarn tail lightly.
5. Finish the Flower
- Once all five petals are made, pull the tail of the magic ring tightly to close the center.
- Chain 1, then cut the yarn, leaving a few inches of tail. Pull the tail through the final loop on your hook to fasten off.
6. Weave in the Ends
- Use the yarn needle to thread the tails into the stitches at the back of the flower, making sure everything is secure. Once done, trim any excess yarn.
Uses

Tip for Success
Keep your tension consistent when working the double crochets to ensure that all the petals are uniform in size and shape. This makes the finished flower more polished and symmetrical.
