dec – decrease
inc – increase

Center

Use black yarn.

Rnd 1: 8 sc into magic ring (8)

Cloase with 1 sl st in the first stitch made and ch 1 to rise, it does not count as a stitch. We will work this way on all rows, finish with 1 sl st and ch 1 to rise.

Rnd 2: 8 inc (16)
Rnd 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (24)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (32)
Rnd 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (40)
Rnd 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (48)
Rnd 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (56)
Rnd 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (64)
Rnd 9: 64 sc (64)

Finish here, fasten off and weave in the yarn.

Petals

Use marsala yarn.

Join the yarn in the back loop of rnd 9, we will work in BLO.

Rnd 10: sl st across the entire row (64) (these are the base stitches)
Rnd 11: BLO: work the first petal, ch 1 to rise, make 12 sc (12)
Rnd 12-13: ch 1, turn the work and crochet back, 12 sc (12)
Rnd 14: 1 dec, 8 sc, 1 dec (10)
Rnd 15: 1 ch, turn, 10 sc (10)
Rnd 16: 1 ch, turn, 1 dec, 6 sc, 1 dec (8)
Rnd 17-18: 1 ch, turn, 8 sc (8)

Rnd 20: 1 ch, turn, 1 dec, 2 sc, 1 dec (4)
Rnd 21-22: 4 sc (4)
Rnd 23: 2 dec (2)

Fasten off and weave in the yarn.

We have finished the first petal. Skip 1 base loop and join the marsala yarn in the next one, repeat the petal following the instructions from rows 11 to 23, when finished fasten off and weave in the yarn. Skip one base loop and attach the marsala yarn to the next.

Repeat until you have 5 petals.

Once the petals are done, we will make the outline with the gray yarn. Join it at any stitch, make sc around the entire flower, including the remaining sl sts, and when finished close with 1sl st and weave in the yarn.

With the White yarn, make stitches (embroidery lines) all over the flower randomly — there is no specific pattern to follow, make as many as you feel necessary.

On the back you can sew a piece of fabric so the embroidery stitches are not visible (optional), or as you embroider, weave the yarn between the stitches.
