Required Materials:

• Crochet hook (size not specified, but a standard hook works well with light or medium-weight yarn)
• Yarn (choose any color or type suitable for flowers)
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Start the Flower Base:

1. Begin with a slip knot on your hook.
   • Insert your hook, yarn over, pull through, and tie the yarn to secure.
2. Chain 6 to form a loop.
3. Connect the ends by making a slip stitch into the first chain. This creates your starting loop.

2. Create the First Petal:

1. Chain 4 (this acts as the base for the petal).
2. Make three treble crochet stitches (tr) within the loop:
   • Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the loop, yarn over, pull through two loops, pull through two loops, pull through two loops. Repeat this for a total of three treble crochets in the loop.
3. Chain 4 again.
4. Insert your hook into the loop and make a slip stitch to complete the first petal.

3. Repeat Steps to Create Five Petals:

1. Start the next petal by chaining 4.
2. Make three treble crochets in the loop, as before.
3. Again, chain 4 and finish the petal with a slip stitch into the loop.
4. Repeat this process until you have a total of 5 petals.

4. Finish the Flower:

1. After finishing all 5 petals, chain 1 and cut the yarn using scissors.
2. Tie off securely to fasten the flower.
3. To create a polished look, tie the ends of the yarn together (do this twice for security).
4. Trim any excess yarn with scissors.

Final Notes:

• Once complete, you have a beautiful and simple 3D flower.
• Customize your flower further by using different yarn colors for a vibrant finished product.
