🌻 FULL DETAILED CROCHET PATTERN – SPIRAL FLOWER

🧶 Yarn & Hook

• 2 colors: Green (center) + Yellow (petals)
• Hook: 3–4 mm
• Scissors, yarn needle

---

🟢 PART 1 — GREEN SPIRAL CENTER

This center is made in 3 phases:

1. A flat circle
2. A ring
3. A spiral tail

---

⭐ Round 1 — Flat circle

1. Make a magic ring
2. Ch 3 (counts as first DC)
3. Work 11 DC into ring (12 total)
4. Pull ring tight
5. Sl st to top of ch 3 to close the round

➡️ You now have a small circle.

---

⭐ Round 2 — Turning circle into a ring

This ring is formed with chain spaces.

Repeat in EACH stitch around (12 times):

• 1 DC
• Ch 1

(You will have 12 DC + 12 chain-1 spaces.)

Sl st to first DC.

➡️ This creates the little “windows” you see inside the green ring.

---

⭐ Round 3 — Begin the spiral

Now we work only one side so the work starts to spiral.

Repeat around the ring:

In each ch-1 space:

• 2 DC
• Ch 1

But do NOT join the round — just keep working forward so the stitches lean and naturally form a curve.

➡️ You will see the spiral forming.

---

⭐ Round 4 — Extend the spiral tail

Continue crocheting on the side of the spiral:

Repeat as many times as needed (8–15 repeats depending on length you want):

• 2 DC in next space on the edge
• Ch 1

Shape the spiral with your fingers.

➡️ When your spiral looks like the photo, cut the yarn (leave it attached if you want to sew later).

---

🌼 PART 2 — YELLOW PETALS (2 Layers)

Petals are built ON the green ring before the spiral tail.

You will work into the Round 2 chain spaces (the 12 gaps).

Attach yellow yarn.

---

⭐ Petal Round 1 — Base of petals

In each ch-1 space (12 total):

• (2 DC, Ch 2, 2 DC)

Sl st to first DC to close the round.

➡️ You now have 12 “V” shapes around the green ring.

---

⭐ Petal Round 2 — Shape the petals (rounded puffs)

In each (2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC) group:

• SC
• 5 DC
• SC

This makes the round scalloped petals.

Sl st to first SC to finish the first layer.

➡️ At this point, your flower already looks like a sunflower.

---

🌻 PART 3 — Outer Large Petals (Layer 2)

This is the larger outer layer seen in the picture.

You will work between petals, in the gap created by the SC stitches.

In each gap:

1. Sl st
2. Ch 3
3. 2 DC
4. Ch 2
5. 2 DC
6. Ch 3
7. Sl st

Repeat all around (12 large petals).

Cut yarn, weave in ends.
