Crocheting a simple flower is one of the most rewarding projects for a beginner. It’s quick, uses only basic stitches, and you get a beautiful finished item almost immediately!

Tapestry Needle: For weaving in the ends.

sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
st(s): stitch(es)

Step-by-Step Flower Pattern

This flower is made in two simple steps: creating the center ring and then working the petals into that ring.

Part 1: The Center Ring (Color A)

This foundation is where your petals will be anchored.

Start: With your center color (e.g., yellow), create a Magic Ring (also called a Magic Circle). Alternatively, chain 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring.
Make the Base Stitches:
- ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 10 sc into the center ring.
Finish Ring: Pull the yarn tail tight to close the center hole. Join with a sl st to the first sc. You should have 10 stitches.
Fasten off Color A and weave in the end.

Part 2: The Petals (Color B)

The petals are worked directly into the 10 stitches you just made, with two stitches used for each of the five petals.

Join Yarn: Join your petal color (Color B) into any sc stitch from Round 1 with a sl st.
First Petal:
- ch 2 (This counts as your first half double crochet, but you can think of it as just the starting chain).
- Work 3 dc into the same stitch where you joined.
- Work sl st into the next stitch. This anchors the petal.
Petals 2, 3, 4, and 5:
- sl st into the next stitch. (This moves you to a new anchor point).
- Work [ch 2, 3 dc] into the same stitch.
- Work sl st into the next stitch.
Finish the Round: After the last petal, join with a sl st into the base of the very first petal you made.

Finishing Touches

Secure Ends: Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch tail. Use your tapestry needle to weave this tail and any remaining ends securely into the back of your flower.
Shaping: Gently pull and shape the petals to make them symmetrical.

You now have a beautiful, five-petal flower! You can use these simple blooms to embellish hats, bags, headbands, or join them together for a stunning flower garland.
