Important Notes

• The center is created with a securely joined chain ring, reinforced by working over tail yarn for extra stability.

Complete Crochet Pattern

Center (Rounds 1 and 2)

• Round 1: Forming the Ring
  • Ch 5 to create the flower’s center.
  • Join with a sl st in the first chain to form a ring.
• Round 2: Working the Heart
  • Ch 1 for height.
  • Work 10 sc into the center of the ring. As you work, hold the loose tail along the ring and crochet over it to help secure the center.
  • Join with sl st to the first sc to close the round.

Petals (Round 3)

• Petals are formed sequentially around each single crochet stitch of the previous round.
• Starting Your First Petal:
  • Ch 6.
  • Work 1 tr in the very first loop (the same position where your chain started, at the edge of the center ring).
• Continuing the Petal Row:
  • For each subsequent stitch around:
    • Work 1 tr in each sc stitch from the center ring.
    • Continue placing 1 tr in each sc, moving around the ring; you should have 10 petals in total if you match the 10 center sc.
• Finishing the Final Petal:
  • When back at the beginning, work your last tr into the base location of the initial slip stitch used to close the petal round.
  • Join with a sl st to the top of the first 6-chain segment to complete the circle of petals.

Finishing

• Cut the yarn and pull through the final loop to secure.
• With the yarn needle, weave in any loose ends on the reverse side. If necessary, gently pull the yarn tail at the center to close the ring tightly.
• Shape petals so that they radiate evenly from the flower’s center, and flatten the flower gently if needed.

Assembly & Finished Size

After you weave in all the ends and shape the flower as desired, you can use the finished motif for different projects. Sew it onto any fabric surface with sewing thread or attach it with a small amount of fabric glue. You can also string several flowers together to form a garland. Use different yarn colors for a more colorful appearance, or layer flowers with different yarns to give them extra depth and texture.The dense, structured center and open, dramatic petals evoke the timeless appeal of classic floral motifs.
