Materials
-
Practice yarn
Use a smooth yarn so petal definition stays clear in the first test.
-
4.5 mm hook
A mid-range hook gives a balanced flower size for beginners.
-
Yarn needle
Use it to tidy the back of the motif after finishing.
Gauge
Keep the stitches even so the flower lies flat without curling.
Pattern notes
- This motif is intended as a foundational flower page in the content cluster.
- A compact shape keeps the petal spacing easier to control.
Step-by-step pattern
Close the center
Work the first round into a magic circle and tighten the center once the round is complete.
Create petal spaces
Set up the petal anchors with a simple round that stays even and easy to count.
Finish the flower
Work the petal round, join neatly, and weave in the tail.
Variations
- Use two colors for a stronger center contrast.
- Add one more stitch to each petal for a fuller look.
