Whether made in bright yellow and blue to stand out or pastel pinks for a softer vibe, the flower pattern can be personalized to suit your taste or the occasion.

Crochet Flower Pattern Instructions

Part 1: Flower Center

Begin with Yellow DMC thread:
- Form a Magic Ring.
- Work 10 sc into the ring.
- Pull the tail to close the ring.
- Join with a sl st into the first sc.
Pull the ends tight, trim excess thread, and secure the center with glue.

Quick Tip: Practice your magic ring technique before diving in, as it’s the foundation for the center. You should now have a small circular center to work from.

Part 2: Creating Flower Petals

Switch to the Blue DMC thread.
Attach blue thread to any stitch in the flower center:
- Ch 4, then make 1 dc into the same st.
- Ch 1, then another dc into the same st.
- Ch 4, and join it with a sl st into the same st to finish one petal.
Move to the next sc in the ring:
- Sl st into the next st, then repeat the petal pattern (ch 4, dc, ch 1, dc, ch 4, sl st).
Repeat until all 5 petals are formed. Join the last petal with a sl st into the base of the first petal.

Helpful Note: The petals initially appear slightly square-shaped. Don’t worry! The next steps round the petals into heart shapes.

Part 3: Shaping Petals into Hearts

Work around the petal’s chains for added texture:
- Insert your hook into the space between the chains and the dc of the petal, and make 4 sc.
- Work a sl st into the ch 1 space between the two dc of the petal.
- Continue by making 4 sc around the remaining chains of the petal.
- Complete with a sl st into the base between petals.
Repeat this process for each of the 5 petals, one at a time.

Shape Transformation: This step transforms petal edges from square to a delicate heart shape, making it perfect for romantic or elegant designs.

Part 4: Embroidering the Petals

Switch to White Embroidery Thread:
- Divide the embroidery thread into 2 strands for a thinner finish.
- Insert your needle into the base of any petal from the back, and bring it up to the front.
- Thread through the first division of the petal and then diagonally back down to the tip, forming a “V.”
Repeat this “V-shaped” embroidery on all petals.

Optional Tip: You can skip embroidery if you prefer a simpler design, but it adds elegance and dimension to the flower.

Assembly & Finishing

Secure the petals: Add a small dab of fabric glue behind each petal to hold the heart shape in place.
Attach hardware: Use small pliers to attach a ring or earring hook to the top of the flower.
Finish by trimming any loose threads and securing knots with glue.
