🧶 Detailed Crochet Long Petal Flower Pattern

Materials

✔ Light worsted or DK yarn (2 colors: Center and Petals)
✔ 2.5 mm – 3.5 mm crochet hook
✔ Scissors
✔ Yarn needle

🌼 Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Center Circle (Yellow Part)

  1. Magic Ring, OR chain 4 and join to form a ring.
  2. Round 1:
    • Chain 2 (counts as first Half Double Crochet [HDC])
    • Work 11 HDC into the ring.
    • Join with slip stitch to the top of chain 2.
      (Total: 12 stitches for 6 petals, 16 stitches for 8 petals like your image)

Part 2: Petal Foundations

  1. Switch to petal color (green or pink as shown).
  2. Round 2 (Petal Bases):
    • Chain 1, work in next stitch:
      • Single Crochet (SC)
      • Half Double Crochet (HDC)
      • Double Crochet (DC)
      • Half Double Crochet (HDC)
      • Single Crochet (SC)
    • Skip the next stitch.
  3. Repeat the petal base sequence all the way around (work into every other stitch).
    (Total petals = 6 or 8 based on center stitch count)
  4. Slip stitch to finish the round.

Part 3: Shaping Large Petals

Work around each petal with more stitches to make them long and defined:

In the top of each petal (across the stitches made in Round 2):

  • SC
  • HDC
  • 4x DC (this gives height to the petal)
  • HDC
  • SC

Repeat for each petal. Slip stitch to finish the round.

🌼 Part 4: Inner Stripe Detail (Surface Slip Stitch)

To create the inner line (center color line on each petal):

  1. Use your center color yarn (yellow in the image).
  2. Insert hook at the flower center, bring yarn through to the front.
  3. Surface slip stitch by working up the center of each petal—insert hook along the petal’s center line, yarn over, pull through, repeat to the tip.
  4. Fasten off at the tip, weave in ends neatly.

🧵 Finishing

✔ Weave in all yarn tails with yarn needle.
✔ Block the flower gently if needed for shape.

✅ Tips

  • Adjust the number of stitches for longer or fuller petals.
  • Use contrasting yarn colors for more vibrant flowers.
  • Can be used for coasters, appliqué on bags, hats, blankets, etc.
