🌼 Crochet Flower Motif (Detailed Instructions)

🧶 Materials

• Yarn: 2 colors of medium-weight cotton yarn (example: green + white)
• Hook: 2.5mm–3mm crochet hook
• Other: Scissors and yarn needle

---

🌸 Round 1: Make the Center Circle

1. Start with your center color yarn (green or yellow).
2. Make a magic ring, or chain 5 and join with a slip stitch to form a circle.
3. Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
4. Make 11 more double crochets (dc) into the ring.
   → You will have 12 stitches total (including the chain 2).
5. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first chain 2.
   → Pull the ring tight.

🌸 Round 2: Increase the Circle

1. Chain 2 (counts as first dc).
2. Make 1 dc in the same stitch (so 2 dc in that stitch).
3. Make 2 dc in each stitch around — you are doubling every stitch.
   → You’ll end up with 24 stitches total.
4. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.

🪡 Tip: Your circle should lie flat. If it curls, loosen your tension slightly.

🌸 Round 3: Make Loops for Petals

1. Chain 3.
2. Skip 1 stitch, then single crochet (sc) in the next stitch.
3. Repeat this pattern:
   (ch 3, skip 1, sc in next stitch) around the circle.
   → You will have 12 loops total.
4. Join with a slip stitch to the base of the first chain 3.

These loops will be the foundation for your petals.

🌸 Round 4: Form the Petals

Now we’ll build the green (or yellow) petal shapes.

1. In the first loop, do:
   • 1 sc,
   • 1 half double crochet (hdc),
   • 3 double crochets (dc),
   • 1 hdc,
   • 1 sc.
     → That’s one petal complete.
2. In the next loop, repeat the same sequence.
3. Continue this in each of the 12 loops around.
4. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

Now you should have a flower with 12 rounded petals.

🌸 Round 5: Add the Border Color (White)

1. Change yarn to your second color (white).
2. Attach the new yarn at the base of any petal (between petals).
3. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) around the edges:
   • Work 1 sc in each stitch up the side of the petal,
   • At the top of each petal, make (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) to form a little point,
   • Continue sc down the other side of the petal.
4. When you reach the space between petals, make 1 slip stitch to move to the next petal.
5. Repeat all around until the whole flower is bordered in white.
6. Join with a slip stitch to the beginning.
7. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
