Great — let’s go through how to crochet these little five-petal flowers step by step! 🌸✨
🌸 Crochet Five-Petal Flower Tutorial (Like in Your Photo)
🧶 What You’ll Need:
- Crochet thread (2 colors: one for petals, one for the center embroidery)
- 1.25 mm – 2.0 mm crochet hook (depending on thread size)
- Yarn needle for embroidery
- Scissors
📖 Instructions:
🌿 Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring
- Make a magic ring (adjustable ring)
- Chain 1 (to secure)
🌸 Step 2: Form the Flower Center
- Work 5 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring
- Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch into the first single crochet
🌸 Step 3: Make the Petals
Repeat this for each of the 5 petals:
In the same stitch:
- Chain 2
- 3 double crochet (dc) into the same stitch
- Chain 2
- Slip stitch into the same stitch
Then, move to the next stitch and repeat.
You’ll make 5 petals around the ring.
🌸 Step 4: Fasten Off
- After completing the 5th petal, slip stitch to the base, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
🌿 Step 5: Embroider the Flower Center
With a yarn needle and green thread:
- Insert the needle from back to front at the flower center
- Make long straight stitches from the center outward between petals
- Typically, do about 5–6 evenly spaced stitches
- Knot and hide the thread at the back.
✅ And you’re done!
🎀 Optional:
- Starch the flowers lightly for stiffness
- Attach to hair clips, headbands, bags, or use them as appliqués
