Row 2: Knit front and back (KFB) into each stitch – (10 sts).
Row 3–5: Knit all stitches (3 rows).
Row 6: K2tog across – (5 sts).
Repeat Rows 1–6 five times total to create 5 petals in one long strip.
🪡 Finishing the Flower:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Thread the tail into a yarn needle.
- Gently gather the base of the strip (where the petals narrow) by sewing through it.
- Pull tight to form a flower shape.
- Stitch the ends together and sew through the center to secure the shape.
🎯 Optional: Add a button, bead, or contrasting yarn circle in the center.
