Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials on hand:

• Yarn: Choose a color for your cosmos flower (preferably cotton yarn for better structure).
• Crochet Hook: Select a size appropriate for the yarn (usually recommended on the yarn label).
• Scissors: To cut the yarn.
• Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends and assembling the flower.
• Stitch Markers (optional): To keep track of your rounds.

Step 2: Start with a Magic Ring

To create the center of the flower:

1. Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling it through.
2. Secure the ring by chaining 1.
3. Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
4. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.

Step 3: Increase the Flower Petals

Next, you'll create the petals:

1. In the first round, crochet 2 single crochets in each stitch around (total of 12 stitches).
2. For the next round, crochet 1 single crochet in the first stitch, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around (total of 18 stitches).

Step 4: Shape the Petals

To form the petals:

1. Continue increasing until you reach the desired size for the flower. You can do this by adding more rounds of single crochets as needed.
2. For a more defined petal look, switch to half double crochets or double crochets in the following rounds.
3. Remember to count your stitches to maintain the flower's shape.

Step 5: Finish the Flower

1. Once you reach your desired size, finish with a round of slip stitches to give the flower a neat edge.
2. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.
3. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle for a clean finish.

Step 6: Optional Decorative Touches

You can enhance your flower by:

• Adding a button or bead to the center.
• Using different colors for each round to create a layered effect.
• Experimenting with different yarn textures to add depth.
