Pattern:

Center Circle:

1. Magic Ring (Adjustable Ring) Method:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through a loop (this creates your first chain, but it doesn’t count as a stitch).
   • Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to secure the ring.
   • OR, alternatively, Chain Method: Ch 4, sl st into the first ch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), work 8 sc into the magic ring (or the center of the ch-4 ring). Pull the tail of the magic ring to close the center tightly. Sl st into the first sc to join the round. (8 sc)

Creating the Petals:

1. Round 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), in the same st as the join, work the following sequence for the first petal:
   • sl st
   • ch 3
   • tr in the same st
   • ch 3
   • sl st in the same st.
2. Creating the Remaining Petals: Ch 1. Skip the next sc of Round 1. In the following sc, repeat the petal sequence:
   • sl st
   • ch 3
   • tr in the same st
   • ch 3
   • sl st in the same st.
3. Repeat step 2 two more times, skipping one sc between each petal. You will now have four distinct petals.
4. After completing the fourth petal, sl st into the beg sl st of the first petal to join the round.

Finishing:

1. Fasten off your yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in.
2. Thread the yarn needle with the tail and weave it securely through the back of your work. Trim any excess yarn.
3. If you used the magic ring method, ensure the center is tightly closed by gently pulling the starting tail. Weave in this tail as well.

Tips and Variations:

• Yarn Weight and Hook Size: Experiment with different yarn weights and corresponding hook sizes to create flowers of varying sizes.
• Stitch Height for Petals: You can adjust the height of the petals by using different stitches in the petal sequence. For example, you could use sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc for a shorter, more rounded petal, or even longer stitches like double treble crochet for a more elongated look.
• Color Changes: Introduce color changes in different rounds or even within the petals for a more intricate design. For example, you could make the center circle one color and the petals another.
• Adding Embellishments: Once your flower is complete, you can add beads, buttons, or embroidery to the center for extra detail.
• Joining Multiple Flowers: These small flowers are perfect for joining together to create garlands, appliques, or other decorative items.
