Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Center of Flower

1. Start with a magic ring using yellow yarn.
2. Round 1: Make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. (You should have 6 stitches.)
3. Round 2: Increase by making 2 single crochets in each stitch around. (You should have 12 stitches.)
4. Fasten off the yellow yarn and leave a long tail for sewing later.

2. Petals

1. Choose your desired petal color and attach it to any stitch of the flower center using a slip stitch (sl st).
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (ch 1), then in the same stitch, make the following stitches: 1 single crochet (sc), 1 half double crochet (hdc), 1 double crochet (dc), 1 half double crochet (hdc), and 1 single crochet (sc). This creates one petal.
3. Repeat this process in each of the 12 stitches around the flower center to create 12 petals total.
4. Once you reach the first petal, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
5. Fasten off and weave in the ends for the petal color.

3. Leaves

1. Using green yarn, chain 10.
2. In the 2nd chain from the hook, make 1 single crochet (sc).
3. In the next chain, make 1 half double crochet (hdc).
4. In the next 5 chains, make 1 double crochet (dc) in each chain.
5. In the next chain, make 1 half double crochet (hdc).
