🧵 Crochet Pattern: Step-by-Step Instructions

🌼 Round 1: Center Circle

1. Start with a magic ring (or CH 4, SL ST to form ring).
2. CH 3 (counts as first DC).
3. Work 11 DC into the ring. (12 DC total)
4. Pull the ring tight and join with a SL ST to the top of the CH 3.

✅ You now have a closed circle with 12 double crochets.

🌸 Round 2: Create Petal Base Loops

1. CH 1, SC into same stitch.
2. CH 5, skip 1 DC, SC in next stitch.
3. Repeat from * to * around the circle.
4. You should have 6 CH-5 loops total.
5. SL ST to the first SC to close.

📝 These loops are the foundation of your flower petals.

🌺 Round 3: First Petal Layer

1. SL ST into the first CH-5 loop.
2. In each loop, crochet the following:
   • SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC
3. Repeat this in each of the 6 loops.
4. Join with SL ST to the first SC.

🌟 Your red flower now has 6 rounded petals.

⭐ Round 4: Extend with Star Loops

1. CH 1, SC in space between petals.
2. CH 7, SC in the next space between petals.
3. Repeat from * to * around.
4. Join with SL ST. (6 CH-7 loops created)

💡 These larger loops help form pointed star petals in the next round.

🌟 Round 5: Star Petal Layer

In each CH-7 loop, work the following:

• SC, HDC, DC, TR, DC, HDC, SC

Repeat this full petal in all 6 CH-7 loops.

You now have 6 large pointed petals, giving your doily a floral-star shape.

🧁 Round 6: Optional Picot Edging for Decorative Detail

1. SC to the top of each petal’s TR.
2. CH 3, then SL ST into the first CH (this forms a PICOT).
