Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin crocheting, collect the necessary materials:

• Yarn of your choice (Bravissimo50 from Tessiland is recommended)
• 4mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Stitch marker
• Optional: Measuring tape (not necessary for this project)

Step 2: Start with Round 1

1. Begin by making a slip knot.
2. Chain a specific number of stitches (refer to the video for the exact count).
3. Join the last chain to the first chain to form a ring.
4. Work the first round by:
   • Creating a set number of double crochets (DC) in the ring.
   • Using a stitch marker to mark the start of each round.
   • Ensuring to complete the round with the correct number of stitches.

Step 3: Progress to Round 2

1. Move to the next round by chaining a specific number of stitches.
2. For this round:
   • Alternate between different types of stitches (e.g., DC, treble crochet).
   • Follow the pattern carefully to maintain the flower shape.
   • Use the stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.

Step 4: Complete Round 3

1. Start this round with a chain and continue the established pattern.
2. Focus on increasing the size of your flower by adding more stitches as needed.
3. Make sure to check the video for the exact stitch count and types required for this round.

Step 5: Weave in Ends

1. Once the flower is complete, use your scissors to cut the yarn.
2. Weave in the loose ends using a yarn needle or your crochet hook to ensure they are secure and hidden.
3. Take care to tidy up any visible ends for a clean final product.
