In the next stitch, make 1 dc. In the next stitch, make 1 hdc. Make a sl st into the single crochet from the previous round. Repeat this pattern (hdc, dc, 2 dc inc, dc, hdc, sl st) for all 6 petals around the flower. Cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in all your ends.
The Green Leaves
First Leaf: Leave a little yarn tail. Make a slip knot with the green yarn and ch 8. Turn the chain to work in the back bumps. Start in the 2nd chain from your hook. Make 1 sc, then 1 hdc, then 4 dc (one in each of the next 4 chains), then 1 hdc, and 1 sc in the last chain.
Turn to work on the other side of the chain. Make 1 sc, then 1 hdc, then 4 dc, then 1 hdc, and 1 sc.
To make a clean edge, make 16 sl sts all the way around the leaf border. Cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in your end.
Second Leaf: Make a slip knot with the green yarn and ch 8. Work the exact same steps as the first leaf down the back bumps: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 4 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Turn to the other side and make: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 4 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Now begin making your sl sts around the edge. When you reach the 9th slip stitch (this is the top tip of the leaf), push your hook through the top tip of your First Leaf to connect both leaves together with that slip stitch.
Continue making the rest of the slip stitches around the leaf. Cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in your ends.
The String and Assembly
Make a loop with your green yarn.
Push this loop through the center hole between your two connected leaves. Pull it tight.
Insert your crochet hook into this center loop and ch 50.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the yarn tail through the final loop to finish the string.
Take your Flower Bell. Insert your crochet hook from the bottom opening to the top center hole of the flower.
Grab the chain string and pull it all the way down through the flower. Your green leaves will now sit perfectly on the top of the flower.
Bring the bottom tail of the chain string back up to the top hole and secure it tightly between the leaves. Use your yarn needle to weave in all loose ends.
Attach your key ring to the bottom loop of the green string hanging inside the flower bell. Put your keys on the ring.
Pull the green leaves at the top, and your keys will pull safely inside the flower!
