Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Rose Flower:

1. Foundation Chain:

       • Chain 1
       • 5 Double Crochets
       • Chain 1
       • Single Crochet
   • Repeat this pattern for all 15 chain spaces.
3. Finishing the Flower:
   • Fold the petals inward and sew them together using the long tail left from the yarn. Ensure the wrong side faces inward for a neater finish.

Flower Bud:

1. Magic Circle Base:
   • Create a magic circle, secure with Chain 1.
   • Work 6 Single Crochets into the magic circle, join with a slip stitch to form a round.
2. Increase Rounds:

   • Round 2–3: Continue working Single Crochets evenly in each stitch (12 stitches total per round).
3. Decrease (Shaping the Bud):

   • Repeat until the bud has a rounded, closed shape.
4. Finish:
   • Secure yarn and weave in ends.

     • Half Double Crochet
     • Double Crochet (twice if more depth is desired)
     • Triple Crochet (two times for peak)
     • Chain 2, Slip Stitch into the same stitch for a pointed leaf end.

Strap for Keychain:

1. Chain Foundation:
   • Make a long chain strap of approximately 55 chains (or adjust length based on preference).
2. Attach Keyring:
