Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies. The gauge is not critical for this project, but aim for a tight, firm fabric to help the flower hold its shape. Each finished flower will be approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.

• Yarn: Worsted weight (Category 4) cotton or acrylic blend. You will need 3 colors per flower (e.g., Rust, Sage, Cream, or Dusty Rose, Mustard, Ivory). A small amount of each color is needed.
• Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook.
• Other: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and optional stitch markers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these instructions carefully to create one flower. Repeat the entire process to make your trio, varying the color combinations as you wish.

Flower Base (Make 1 per flower, in Color A)

This forms the solid, flat foundation upon which the petals will be built.

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring. Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the tail tight to close the ring. Slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to join the round. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Chain 1. Work 2 sc in each stitch around. Sl st to the first sc. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: Chain 1. *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc. (18 stitches)
4. Round 4: Chain 1. *Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc. (24 stitches)
5. Round 5: Chain 1. *Sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc. (30 stitches)
6. Fasten off Color A and weave in the end securely.

First Petal Layer (Color B)

This creates the smaller, inner ring of petals.

1. Round 6: Join Color B with a sl st in any stitch of Round 5. Chain 1. Sc in the same stitch. *Chain 3, skip the next stitch, sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. You will have 15 chain-3 loops. Sl st to the first sc to join.
2. Round 7: Sl st into the first chain-3 loop. Chain 1. Work the following into the same chain-3 loop: (sc, half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), hdc, sc). Repeat this set of stitches in each of the remaining 14 chain-3 loops around. Sl st to the first sc. (15 small petals made)
3. Fasten off Color B and weave in the end.

Second Petal Layer (Color C)

This creates the larger, outer ring of petals that sits behind the first layer.

1. Round 8: Working behind the first petal layer, join Color C with a sl st in any of the skipped sc from Round 6 (these are the single crochet stitches that are between the chain-3 loops). Chain 1. Sc in the same stitch. *Chain 4, sc in the next skipped sc.* Repeat from * to * around. You will have 15 chain-4 loops. Sl st to the first sc to join.
2. Round 9: Sl st into the first chain-4 loop. Chain 1. Work the following into the same chain-4 loop: (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc). Repeat this set of stitches in each of the remaining 14 chain-4 loops around. Sl st to the first sc. (15 larger petals made)
3. Fasten off Color C and weave in the end.

Center (Optional, in Color D or A)

This small circle adds a finished look to the flower's heart.

1. Make a magic ring. Chain 1. Work 6 sc into the ring. Pull tight. Sl st to the first sc.
2. Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 8-10 inches) for sewing.

Assembly

1. Position the small center circle over the middle of the flower, covering the hole from the magic ring.
2. Using the long tail and a yarn needle, sew the center circle securely onto the flower. Weave in the end on the back.
3. Alternatively, you can glue the center in place with fabric glue.
4. If desired, lightly block the flower by pinning it to a flat surface and misting with water. Allow to dry completely. This helps flatten and shape the petals.

Repeat all steps to create your second and third flowers, experimenting with different color combinations for a unique, boho-inspired look. Enjoy your handmade Enchanted Meadow Blossom Trio!
