Materials
Hook of choice
1 color yarn of choice
Scissors

Chain 4 to start.
-
Slip stitch into the first stitch of the chain. This creates a small loop (shown in image 3 below).
-
For the first round, do 2 single crochets in the next chain.
-
Chain 1.
Do a single crochet in the next stitch.
Tip: As you go, crochet over the tail so that you won't have to weave it in at the end. -
For the second round, slip stitch into the same stitch you just did.
-
Chain 1.
Do 2 double crochet into the next stitch. -
Chain 1.
Slip stitch in the same stitch. This creates the first petal. -
Repeat the above process to make each of the five remaining petals.
-
To finish, cut the yarn to create a tail. Pull your yarn through, and then move to the back of the flower to weave in ends.
Tip: If you leave your last tail long enough, you will have a piece of yarn to use for attaching the flower onto other items, such as garland, clothing, or other crochet projects.

Materials
Hook of choice
2 colors in yarn of choice
Scissors
-
Chain 4.
Do a slip stitch to join to the first stitch. -
Make a ring. In that ring, you will start working double crochets.
Chain 3 for your first double crochet. -
Make 13 double crochets in the ring, which will form a larger crocheted ring.
-
To finish the round, do a slip stitch in the turning chain you worked at the beginning.
-
Cut your yarn and pull the tail through. Then weave in your ends.
-
Find any double crochet on your ring.
Slip stitch with the second color.
Tip: Leave yourself a tail of the second color for the end. -
Chain 4.
-
Skip a double crochet.
Single crochet into the top of the next double crochet.
Repeat this all the way around your original ring. You will see how quickly you form loops around. -
End with a chain 4 and then a single crochet to finish your row (loops).
-
Chain 2 in the first space.
-
Then in the first space, make a half double crochet. (Half double crochet = yarn over, pull up a loop, and yarn over and pull all three.)
-
Do a double crochet.
Do a triple crochet.
Therefore, your pattern is a half double crochet, double crochet, then triple crochet. -
Go the other way. Do a double crochet.
Do a half double crochet. This creates a petal. -
Do a slip stitch at the top of the single crochet that is at the end of the loop.
-
Repeat what you did on the last petal on the next: Half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet. Then down the other side of the petal with double crochet and then half double crochet.
Join into the single crochet with a slip stitch. -
Repeat for the remaining petals. (Only five stitches per petal.)
-
To finish, join a slip stitch to join in between the two petals.
-
Cut your yarn and pull through the tail.
-
Weave in your ends and the crochet flower is complete!

These would look so much better if they were worked in a thinner yarn or even a #10 thread. Regular #4 weight yarns make flowers look so much more bulky than they should be. Flowers should be delicate, feminine, and lacey. I could not get the video to play. I got an error message that said it could not be loaded because of server error.
