Step-by-Step Detailed Instructions

Flower Center: Base

1. R1: Begin with a magic loop.
   • Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the loop.
   • Pull the tail to tighten the loop.
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch to join the round.
   • Chain (ch) 1.
2. R2: Work 2 single crochets (sc) in each stitch around (12 sc total).
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch of the round.
   • Chain (ch) 1.
3. R3: Crochet 1 single crochet (sc) in each stitch around (12 sc total).
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch.
   • Chain (ch) 1.
4. R4: Work into the back loop only (BLO) of each stitch.
   • Crochet 12 single crochets (sc) around (still working BLO).
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch.
   • Chain (ch) 1.
5. R5: Begin decreasing:
   • Work 6 total decreases (dec×6) around to reduce the stitch count.
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch.
   • Chain (ch) 1, then cut the yarn, leaving a tail.

Flower Petals

1. Insert your hook into the half loops of Round 4 (from the back-loop round left behind earlier).
   • Chain (ch) 3.
2. In the same loop, crochet 5 treble crochets (tr).
3. To shape the petal:
   • Return to the top of the fifth stitch you just made.
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the fifth treble crochet.
4. Chain (ch) 2, then move to the next loop.
5. Repeat Steps 2–4 all the way around:
   • Crochet 5 treble crochets in each half loop from Round 4.
   • Slip stitch into the top of the last treble crochet for each petal.
   • Finish with a slip stitch after the final petal.

Finishing Techniques

1. Secure the yarn: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and use the yarn needle to weave in loose ends.
2. Attach to clip: Use the yarn or a glue gun to secure the finished flower to a hairclip base. Be sure the flower is centered on the clip.
3. Block/Shape the flower: Gently shape the petals by pinching or flattening them into position with your fingers.

Notes

• Double-check your stitch counts as you work through the rounds.
• If you’d like to change colors, do so when starting a new round—or add contrasting trim around the edges of the petals for extra flair.
