Materials
-
Small yarn leftovers
This is a useful stash-busting pattern for small color amounts.
-
4.0 mm hook
A slightly smaller hook helps the flower stay compact.
-
Scissors and needle
Needed for a clean finish and tidy back side.
Gauge
Gauge is not strict, but tighter tension usually creates crisper petals.
Pattern notes
- This is a quick project intended for easy repetition and variation.
- Simple petals help keep the page approachable for newer readers.
Step-by-step pattern
Create the ring
Start with a magic circle or alternate adjustable ring so the flower center stays neat.
Work a small first round
Keep the center round balanced because it controls the petal spacing.
Add quick petals
Use a short repeat around the circle to finish the flower without overcomplicating the shape.
Variations
- Make mini flowers with a lighter yarn.
- Add an extra chain between petals for a softer outline.
