Simple Crochet Flower Pattern

Abbreviations:

  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet

Step 1: Create the Center

  1. Ch 4, then join with a sl st to form a ring.

  2. Round 1: Ch 1 (counts as a stitch), then 6 sc into the center of the ring. Join with a sl st into the first sc to close the round.


Step 2: Petals

  1. Round 2:

    • Ch 2, then work 2 dc into the same stitch.
    • In the next stitch, work sl st.
    • Repeat this pattern around: (Ch 2, 2 dc in the next stitch, sl st in the next stitch).
    • You should end up with 5 or 6 petals, depending on the number of stitches in the ring.
  2. After completing the last petal, sl st to the base of the first petal to finish.


Step 3: Finishing

  • Cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
  • Use your tapestry needle to weave in the ends.
