I love crochet flowers!
These crochet flowers are super simple to make! I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarn and a crochet hook H.
I hope you can understand the instructions. I would love your feedback or any suggestions on wording for the pattern.

How to crochet a flower
Make magic ring (this is a great photo tutorial on making a magic ring)
1st round 15 sc in magic ring, pull tight, slip st in first sc
2nd round – chain 4, *skip 1 sc, dc in next sc, ch 1, repeat from * 6 more times. Join with slip st in 3rd chain of first ch 4. Tie off color.
3rd round – join new color to first chain loop with a slip stitch, work sc, dc, trc, dc, sc in each ch 1 loop, making eight petals, slip stitch in first sc.
4th round – Working behind, sc ch 4 around each dc in 2nd round, ending with chain 4, slip stitch in first sc (8 chain 4 spaces)

Yes, in the 5th round, there needs to be another sc after the second dc.
Lindsey W says
What she means is you take your hook and enter from the back go around the dc towars the back again then sc… (almost like a back post double crochet excet you are just single crochet) then you chain 4 then go from behind to the front and around dc towards the back again and sc again… you are outlining the petals if the visual makes sense. google back post double crochet approach the stitch the same way but single crochet instead and you ll get it!…
s X . X s
if X is the double . is the treble and s is the single you will insert needle from behind the work in between the s and first X go in front of the X and back out the other side then single crochet. Chain four then insert hook from back to front in between the . and second X going aroung the X with the hook ending behind the work and single crochet again… repeat around and you ll get what looks in the picture hope that helps…

I’m having trouble understanding “Working behind sc ch 4 around each dc in 2nd round,”. Not sure how to do that. are there instructions on how to do that?
Cindy Hopper says
Teri, you put the needle in from behind. I will look for better instructions.

Finished flower.
Angela Armstrong says
Hi,
5th round – sc, dc, 2trc, dc, in each chain 4 space around. (8 petals) slip stitch in first sc
Is that meant to have a sc after the second dc… so sc, dc, 2trc, dc, SC?
Loving this flower. Doing it in alternate colours for the petals. I’ll post a ravelry link to the finished pic when I’m done.
xoxo

SusieQ says
OH how I love these flowers! I wish you could do a You Tube video on crocheting them – I’m a bit confused on the rounds and how they go. 🙁 Visual would be just perfect!!
Janet says
I have just recently learnt to make these flowers. Your pattern with eight petals rather then the five or six that seems usual is fantastic. It makes up into a beautiful flower. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
Cindy Hopper says
