fo and hide the yarn end into the flower.

Join
Join the 2 layers of petals by single crochet the outer row together. 15sc on side, 3sc on tip, 15sc on side again, move on to the next petal. Stuff small amount of poly-fill into the petals before completely join-up both layer. Repeat 4 times for the other 4 petals.

Decoration
Sew some rhinestones and beads onto the petals to decorate it. Sew the elastic band and attach the brooch pin at the back of the flower to make it into hairband-brooch combo.

Note: The yarn I am using is woven type acrylic fiber which has a little elasticity and will not fray, you can try other yarn to create a different style on it.

Instructions with pictures to assist in crocheting 5 PETAL FLOWER

1. Get ready to crochet the petal.
   
   
   
2. Make 16 chains follow the pattern to crochet row 2 until you reach “flo” instruction.
   
   
   
3. flo – Front loop only. This is the single crochet of the front-loop-only of the center ring. I used the front loop for layer 1 and reserved the back-loop for layer 2 of the petal.
   
   
   
4. This is 1 layer of 5 petals and I am ready to make the second layer by using another loop of the stitch.
   
   
   
5. This is the rear side of the 1st layer. See the loop that I reserved (yellow pointer), now I am going to use this loop to crochet the layer 2 of the petal.
   
   
   
6. Completed the first petal that has 2 layers 🙂 Continue to crochet the rest until you have all 5 petals for layer 2.
   
   
   
7. Time to join-up both layers with single crochet the outer row along the petal.
   
   
   
8. Stuff some small amount of poly-fill to make the 5 Petal Flower a little filling to add dimension to it. Continue to crochet until you reach the end of the petal, move on to the next petal. Skip the stitch that crocheted on the center ring.
   
   
   

Now you have completed the bare 5 petal flower, you can decorate it with beads and rhinestones to glamorize it (like the blue one I have made).

Attach an elastic hairband and a brooch pin at the rear side of the flower by hot glue, and the flower is ready to charm your apparel.

Have fun making one today!!!!
