Step 1: Creating the Ring

To begin, start with a chain four, then slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring. The chain three will serve as one double crochet stitch throughout the pattern. You can also use a magic ring if preferred.

Step 2: Round 1

In the ring, make 12 double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to complete Round 1.

Step 3: Round 2

Change colors (optional) and chain three. Make two more double crochet stitches in the same stitch. Repeat this pattern in each stitch from the previous round, separating each set with a chain one.

Step 4: Round 3

Change colors (optional) and connect the yarn to any chain one space from Round 2. Chain three (one double crochet), chain two, and make another double crochet in the same space. Follow this with a chain one to separate the V stitches. Repeat this pattern in each chain one space from Round 2.

Step 5: Round 4

Change colors (optional) and slip stitch to the adjacent V stitch. Increase the V stitches by making two double crochet stitches, chain two, and two more double crochet stitches in each V stitch from the previous round. Separate each set with a chain one.

Step 6: Round 5

Change colors (optional) and increase the V stitches further by making three double crochet stitches, chain two, and another set of three double crochet stitches in each V stitch from the previous round. Separate each set with a chain one.

Step 7: Round 6

Change colors (optional) and increase the V stitches by making four double crochet stitches, chain three, and four more double crochet stitches in each V stitch from the previous round. Separate each set with a chain one.

Step 8: Outline the Petals

Using surface crochet technique, outline each petal with single crochet stitches. Start with a chain one, single crochet, chain one, single crochet pattern. Place single crochet stitches at the top of existing double crochet stitches and separate each set with a chain one. Repeat this pattern around all 12 petals.
