The Crochet Pattern

Flower Base (Body)

Row 1:

• Make a Magic Ring (MR).
• Chain 3 (counts as first DC).
• Work 11 DC inside MR.
• Join with slip stitch to top of the initial chain 3.
• Total: 12 DC stitches forming a tight circle.

Row 2:

• Chain 1.
• Work 1 SC in the same hole as join.
• Chain 3, skip 1 stitch,
• Work 1 SC in the next stitch.
• Repeat the chain 3, skip 1 stitch, SC pattern all the way around the circle taking care to place SC in every other stitch evenly.
  Save

Row 3:

• Build 6 petals around the base circle following this stitch sequence in each chain space from previous row:
  • 1 SC
  • 1 HDC
  • 3 DC
  • 1 HDC
  • 1 SC
• This creates a petal shape with height and texture. Repeat for all 6 petals evenly spaced.

Row 4:

• Work on the back side of the flower base.
• Create 6 loops of 5 chains each, spaced evenly resonating with the 6 petals, forming loops behind the petals for layering.

Row 5:

• Create the second layer of petals over the back loops.
• In each chain loop created in Row 4, work:
  • 1 SC
  • 1 HDC
  • 5 DC (longer petal for dimensionality)
  • 1 HDC
  • 1 SC
• This second row of petals creates a fuller layered flower effect.

Row 6:

• Switch to pink yarn for added color contrast.
• Join with slip stitch on the back loops of the previous layer.
• Create 6 loops of 5 chains each, placing a front post SC into each previous row’s SC to anchor.
• These loops prepare the base for the final round of petals in pink.
  Save

Row 7:

• Chain 3,
• Work 5 DC into each of the 6 loops made in Row 6.
• Total of 36 DC stitches complete this final, airy layer of the flower, giving depth and brightness to the floral body.

Head Pattern (Make two identical pieces)

Row 1:

• Chain 20.
• Skip 3 chains, work 4 DC in the following chains.
• Make 3 sets of 3-together SC in next stitches (crochet 3 single crochets together for clusters).
• Work 3 SC in consecutive stitches.
• Work 3 SC in one stitch (crocheting 3 SC tightly in the same stitch to increase).
• Work 3 sets of 2 DC in one stitch (crochet 2 DC in the same stitch 3 times).
• Finish the round with a slip stitch.

Row 2:

  • Chain 2 to form a picot, chain another 3, and slip stitch to close the seam.
• On the front of the joined head pieces, work 9 SC evenly.
• Chain 40 to create the keychain loop strap.
  Save
