๐ธ Step-by-Step Instructions
๐ผ Round 1: Create the Center
-
Start with a magic ring (or ch 4, sl st to form a ring).
-
Ch 1, then work 10 sc into the ring.
-
Sl st to the first sc to close the round. (10 sts)
๐ผ Round 2: First Layer of Petals
-
Ch 2, skip 1 stitch, sl st in next stitch – repeat around. (You’ll create 5 small loops)
-
Into each loop:
ch 1, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, ch 1, sl st
— all in the same loop.
Repeat for each of the 5 loops to form the first layer of petals.
✅ Now you have a simple 5-petal flower.
๐ผ Round 3: Second Layer (Behind the First)
-
Turn the flower to the back.
-
Insert your hook between the base of two petals (between rounds 1 and 2).
-
Ch 4, sl st between the next petals – repeat around. (Creates 5 loops behind the first layer)
➡️ Into each of these new loops:
ch 1, sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc, ch 1, sl st
These make slightly larger petals behind the first layer.
๐ผ Optional: Round 4 – Third Petal Layer (For Extra Fullness)
-
Again, turn to the back of the second layer.
-
Ch 5, sl st behind each petal (in the gaps) — repeat around.
-
Into each new loop:
ch 1, sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc, ch 1, sl st
Now you have three layers of stunning petals!
✨ Final Touches:
-
Weave in all ends using your yarn needle.
-
Add a button, bead, or pearl to the center if desired.
-
Lightly block the flower with steam or shape it with your hands.
๐ก Tips:
-
Use contrasting colors for each petal layer for a vibrant look.

Cotton yarn gives more defined, crisp petals.

Try using a metallic thread with your yarn for a sparkling finish.
