The finished flower motif.

Materials and yarn planning

Yarns we’ve reviewed that suit it: Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn, Lion Brand Heartland yarn, Lion Brand Wool-Ease DK yarn. For the hook, choose by size and handle.

To buy for a set, make one complete motif first and weigh it: multiply by the number you need, add a little for joins and finishing, and divide by the ball weight on the label. A rectangular swatch cannot predict yarn for this shape. With a total length instead, the yarn-length-to-balls calculator gives the ball count.

Finished size and gauge

Measure the completed motif across its petals after finishing. The pattern’s 5-petal structure is fixed; its physical diameter depends on the yarn and hook.

The gauge calculator compares your swatch with the pattern. A stitch name you do not know is in the abbreviation chart; a UK pattern’s names are in the US/UK term reference.

The pattern

Make the center

  1. Make 10 single crochets in a magic ring. Close the center and slip stitch into the first single crochet.
  2. Keep the beginning stitch marked. The joining slip stitch is not an eleventh single crochet.
  3. If changing color, fasten off the center and join the petal yarn in the first counted single crochet. Otherwise keep the working yarn attached.

Form five petals

  1. In the current single crochet, slip stitch if not already joined there. Chain 2, work 3 double crochets in that same stitch, chain 2 and slip stitch in the same stitch. One petal is complete.
  2. Slip stitch in the next single crochet as a separator. Move to the next single crochet and repeat the petal sequence.
  3. Continue around, using 2 center stitches per petal: one petal base and one separator. Make 5 petals.
  4. After the last separator, join to the beginning without adding another petal. Fasten off and weave the center and petal tails separately.

Check the work

5 petals × 2 center stitches = 10 center stitches used. Each petal has 3 double crochets, for 15 total. Chain arches are counted separately.

  • If there is room for a sixth petal, recount the center and check whether a separator stitch was skipped.
  • If the center opens, secure its tail before attaching the flower to another piece.
