Crochet Pattern Instructions
Making The Yellow Center
Step 1: Take your yellow yarn and make a Magic Ring.
Step 2: Chain 1 to lock your Magic Ring.
Step 3: Make 7 single crochet (sc) stitches inside the Magic Ring.
Step 4: Pull the short tail of the yarn to close the ring tight.
Step 5: Do not slip stitch to close the circle. You will make an invisible join instead. Cut the yarn and leave a long tail.
Step 6: Pull the yarn tail all the way up and out of the loop on your hook.
Step 7: Put the yarn tail into your yarn needle. We will sew to create one more fake stitch.
Step 8: Push your needle under the top two loops of the very first single crochet stitch you made. Pull the yarn through.
Step 9: Now, push your needle back down into the middle of the last single crochet stitch (this is your 7th stitch). Pull the yarn gently.
Step 10: You just made a new stitch with your needle! You now have exactly 8 stitches around your yellow circle. Tie the yarn tightly at the back and cut off the extra yarn.
Making The Purple Petals
Step 11: Take your purple yarn. Put your crochet hook into any stitch on the yellow circle.
Step 12: Pull the purple yarn through the stitch to attach it.
Step 13: Chain 10. This makes a long string for your first petal.
Step 14: Slip stitch (sl st) right back into the same stitch where you started. You just made your first petal loop!
Step 15: Chain 10 again to start the next petal loop.
Step 16: Slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch on the yellow circle. Your working yarn has now moved over to the next stitch.
Step 17: Chain 10 again.
Step 18: Slip stitch (sl st) into the same stitch you are currently working in.
Step 19: Chain 10 again.
Step 20: Slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch on the yellow circle to move over again.
Step 21: Keep doing this exact pattern all the way around the yellow circle. You will make two chain-10 petals connected to every single stitch around the center.
Step 22: Because there are 8 stitches on the yellow circle, you will have exactly 16 big petals when you finish.
Step 23: For your very last petal loop, make your chain 10. Then slip stitch right into the very first space where you started the purple round.
Finishing Your Project
Step 24: If you do not have a metal keychain ring, do not cut the yarn short! Leave a very long piece of yarn. You can tie this long piece into a big loop and use it to hang your flower on your bag.
Step 25: If you do have a metal keychain ring, you can cut the yarn short. Pull it through the loop on your hook to lock it tight.
Step 26: Take your yarn needle and weave the loose ends of the purple yarn into the back of the flower. This will hide the ends and make it look clean.
Step 27: Open your metal keychain ring and slide it onto one of the purple petals. Your beautiful crochet flower is now finished!
