Creating the Petals:

   • Attach a new color of yarn.
   • Insert your hook in any stitch.
   • Chain 6.
2. Forming Petals:
   • You will be working with an afghan stitch to form the petals.
   • Ensure you have 6 loops on the hook by inserting the hook in the reverse side through the stitches and pulling up loops.
   • Once you have 6 loops on the hook, pull through 2 loops repeatedly until 1 loop remains.
   • Chain 1.
   • 
3. Subsequent Rows:
   • Skip the first bump, insert the hook in the second bump, and pull up loops to have 7 loops on the hook.
   • Insert the hook in the same stitch and pull through 2 loops repeatedly until 1 loop remains.
   • Continue this pattern by skipping one bump and inserting in the next bump until each petal is formed.
4. Repetition:
   • Repeat forming the petals until you have created a total of 5 petals.
   • Each petal starts with 6 chains and follows the described pattern to create the shape.
   • 
5. Finishing Each Petal:
   • For each petal, once you have created the desired shape, do a slip stitch in the base stitch to secure it.
6. Additional Steps if Making a Keychain:
