Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crocheting, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Yarn in your desired colors (recommended: medium weight)
• Crochet hook (size recommended in yarn label)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Stitch marker (optional)

Step 2: Create the Flower Center

1. Start with a magic ring (or adjustable loop) to form the foundation of the flower.
2. Chain 3 to begin the first round.
3. Work the following stitches into the magic ring:
   • 2 double crochets
   • 2 treble crochets
   • 2 double crochets
   • 1 chain stitch
4. Pull the magic ring tight to close the center.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the first chain to join the round.

Step 3: Form the Petals

1. For the first petal:
   • Chain 3 to start.
   • In the same stitch, work 2 double crochets.
   • Chain 2, then slip stitch back into the same stitch to form the petal.
2. Repeat the petal formation around the flower center until you have a total of 5 petals.
3. Ensure each petal is uniform in size for a balanced flower appearance.

Step 4: Add Details to the Flower

1. To enhance the flower's beauty, you can add a contrasting color:
   • Attach the new color at the base of any petal.
   • Chain 1, then work a single crochet into the base of the petal.
   • Continue with 2 double crochets in the same space.
2. Repeat this for each petal to create a layered effect.

Step 5: Finish and Weave in Ends

1. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving.
2. Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure it.
3. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends neatly on the back of the flower.
