No advanced special stitches are required beyond those detailed in abbreviations. All increases are made by working two stitches into a single base stitch.
The Crochet Pattern
Creating the Base Ring
- Begin by making 5 chains (ch 5).
- Insert your hook into the first chain, and make a slip stitch (sl st) to form a small ring.
First Row (Single Crochets)—Forming the Petal Center
- Ch 1 to begin.
- Work 1 single crochet (sc) into the center of the ring.
- Continue making single crochets (scs) into the ring until you have 14 sc total.
- Join with a sl st into the first sc of the round.

Second Row (Double Crochets)—Forming the Petal Body
- Ch 3 (counts as your first double crochet, dc).
- In the same stitch, work 1 dc (2 dc from one point).
- In the next base stitch, work 2 dc.
- Continue: in each single crochet base stitch, work 2 dc around the whole base.
- You will finish with 28 dc in total.
- When you complete the round, join with a sl st into the top of the starting ch-3.
Final Finishing Row—Decorative Edge
- Ch 1.
- Work 1 sl st into the next stitch.
- Ch 1, then sl st into the next stitch.
- Continue: (ch 1, sl st in next stitch) all the way around the petal edge.
- When the round is finished, join with a sl st into the first ch-1 at the start of the round.
- Ch 1 and cut your thread, leaving a yarn tail about 10–15 cm long for sewing.

Creating the Petals
- Each finished circle is one petal.
- Repeat Steps 1–4 to make five identical petals.
Assembling the Flower
- Thread a long tail of red yarn onto your tapestry needle.
- Arrange your completed 5 petals in a row, with the finishing chain “top” edge and the “bottom” (ring center) edge facing outwards.
- Align two petals:
- Insert needle through the finishing chain/top of one petal and through the bottom edge of the next petal.
- Continue sewing through the corresponding top and bottom points of each petal, one after another, until all five petals are joined into a row.
- Now, bring the two ends together to form a circle and stitch the first petal to the last, closing the flower shape.
- Pull thread taut so petals bunch and meet tightly at the center.
- Tie two secure knots at the back.
- Trim excess yarn and gently adjust and fluff each petal to lay in an even, pleasing manner.

Attaching the Center Pearl
- Thread your tapestry needle with the same yarn (red).
- Position the pearl exactly in the center of the flower, on the front side.
- Sew the pearl through the petal centers several times to ensure it is securely attached.
- Pass the needle to the back side, tie off the yarn securely, and trim any remaining ends.

Assembly & Finished Size
- After all sewing is done, make final adjustments to arrange the petals smoothly and symmetrically around the pearl center.
- Final flower size: about 5–6 cm (2–2.5 inches) in diameter.
- This piece is now ready to be used as an applique, brooch, hair clip, or as you desire.
