Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1: Create the Base

1. Begin with a magic circle: Loop the yarn around your fingers, creating an “X”. Insert the hook under the front strand, grab the back strand, and pull through to make the circle.
2. Secure the circle by chaining 1. Note that the chain does not count as a stitch; its purpose is to secure the circle.
3. Work 10 single crochets into the magic circle.
   • Insert the hook into the circle, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on the hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops. Repeat this for 10 stitches.
4. Close the circle by pulling the loose yarn end.
5. Finish the round with a slip stitch into the first single crochet to secure.

Round 2: Create the Chain Loops

1. Start with a chain 1 and move back to the first single crochet made in the previous round.
2. Into the front loop of the first stitch:
   • Work 1 single crochet, chain 5, and 1 single crochet.
3. Skip the next stitch and repeat the pattern into the front loop of the third stitch:
   • 1 single crochet, chain 5, 1 single crochet.
4. Continue around the circle, skipping every alternating stitch and working in the front loop only.
5. At the end of the round, slip stitch into the first single crochet.

Round 3: Build Petals

   • Work the following stitches into the space:
     • 1 single crochet

   • Into the same chain 5 space, repeat the reverse pattern:
     • 3 double crochets
     • 1 half double crochet
     • 1 single crochet.
2. Skip over any single crochets from the previous round and repeat this pattern in each chain 5 space around.
3. Finish the round by slip stitching into the first single crochet.

Round 4: Add Decorative Chain Loops

1. Turn the flower over to work on the back loop stitches of Round 1.
2. In the first skipped stitch from Round 1:
   • Insert the hook and work: 1 single crochet, chain 7, 1 single crochet.
3. Skip over the next back loop and repeat the pattern in the following skipped stitch.
4. Continue across all remaining skipped stitches, creating chain 7 loops.
5. Finish the round with a slip stitch into the first single crochet.

Round 5: Add Larger Petals to Chain 7 Spaces

     • 1 single crochet
     • 1 half double crochet
     • 2 double crochets
     • 3 treble crochets
     • Chain 3.
   • Repeat the reverse pattern in the same chain space:

     • 1 half double crochet
     • 1 single crochet.
2. Skip single crochets and repeat across all chain 7 spaces.

3. Repeat this pattern for the remaining petals, ensuring symmetry.
4. Finish the round with a slip stitch.
