- For the final chain loop, you can adjust the length (e.g., chain 30 in the tutorial) to fit your desired use.
Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
Round 1: Create the Base Loop
- Wrap the yarn around your finger 6–7 times to form a tight loop.
- Insert your crochet hook through the center of the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
- Chain 1 to secure the base loop.
- Work single crochets around the loop.
- There’s no exact stitch count required here, but aim for 13–15 single crochets to form a good foundation.
- To create a single crochet: Insert the hook into the loop, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
- Once you’ve completed the single crochets, pull the loose end of the yarn tightly to close the center loop.
- Slip stitch into the first single crochet to finish the round.
Round 2: Create the Petals with Puff Stitches
- Begin by chaining 2.
- Work a puff stitch into the first single crochet:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, and repeat this 5 times.
- After 5 repetitions, you should have 11 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all the loops to complete the puff stitch.
- Create a small securing chain: Insert the hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to complete a single crochet.
- Chain 3, then work a single crochet into the same space where the puff stitch was made.
- Repeat the chain 3 and single crochet sequence 2 more times into the same space to form the first petal.
- Move to the next stitch and repeat the process for the second petal:
- Chain 2, create a puff stitch with 5 yarn overs, make a securing chain, then repeat the chain 3 + single crochet sequence 3 times in the same space.
- Continue this pattern around the base circle, creating a total of 8 petals.
- After finishing the 8th petal, chain 2 and slip stitch into the first single crochet of the round to close.
Optional: Add a Chain Loop for a Keychain
- Turn your work to the backside of the flower.
- Insert the hook into the closest chain 2 space and make a slip stitch.
- Chain 30 (or your desired length for a keychain loop).
- Slip stitch back into the same chain 2 space to secure the loop.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail to weave in, and secure the end.
Final Touches
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from the back of the flower.
- Shape the petals for a finished look.
