Instructions:

Crochet Flower Pattern:

Starting the Center:
- Use your first color (Pale Yellow).
- Leave a tail and make a slip knot.
- Chain 4.
- Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
- Ensure your working yarn and tail are to the left; you’ll crochet over the tail.
- Put 6 single crochets into the circle.
First Round of Single Crochets:
- We’re going from 6 to 9 stitches in this round.
- Increase in the first stitch by making 2 single crochets.
- In the next stitch, make 1 single crochet.
- Increase again in the next stitch (2 single crochets).
- Make 1 single crochet in the next stitch.
- Increase once more (2 single crochets) followed by 1 single crochet for a total of 9 single crochets.
- Slip stitch to complete the round, chain 1, and fasten off.
Adding Petals:
- Use your second color (Perfect Pink).
- Make a slip knot and insert it into any stitch from the last round.
- Chain 4 and skip one stitch.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch and chain 4 again.
- Repeat the pattern of skipping a stitch and chaining 4 all the way around.
- You should have 5 loops that will form the base for the petals.
Creating Petals:
- Slip stitch into a chain-4 loop, chain 2 (counts as first half double crochet).
- Make 9 more half double crochets in the same loop, for a total of 10 half double crochets.
- Slip stitch into the next chain-4 loop, chain 2, and repeat: 9 half double crochets for a total of 10.
- Continue this pattern until you have 5 petals.
Second Layer of Petals:
- Fold down the petals to access the skipped stitches.
- Slip stitch to the first skipped stitch space and chain 6.
- Slip stitch into the next skipped stitch and chain 6.
- This will form the second layer foundation for the petals.
Forming Double Crocheted Petals:
- Slip stitch into a chain-6 loop.
- Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), and work 9 more double crochets into the loop for a total of 10.
- Repeat this step for each chain-6 loop around.
Finishing Off:
- Slip stitch to the first stitch where you started and chain 2 for securing.
- Fasten off your yarn and weave in any remaining ends.
- Optionally, attach a bobby pin through the center to use it as a car freshener.
Optional Final Touches:
- Add essential oils to the flower for fragrance.
- To refresh or change the scent later, wash in cold water and let dry before re-applying essential oil.
