For this crochet flower pattern you can just use a hook to suit the yarn you choose.
It also depends how 'open' you want the flower to look. I wanted a more 'filled in' look.
For a more lacy and delicate - use a finer yarn or thread.
It is all worked from the same side - no need to turn it over after each row.
I just use the term 'turning chain' as it is widely recognized.
- Chain 4 and join with slip stitch to form a ring.
- Chain 1, work 9 single crochets around ring, join with slip stitch to turning chain.
- Chain 1, double crochet & single crochet in next stitch, *single crochet in next stitch,
(single crochet, double crochet, single crochet in next stitch), repeat from * 3 more times
ending with single crochet in next stitch. Join with slip stitch to starting chain and slip
stitch to top of first double crochet.
- Chain 2, 2 double crochet in same stitch (top of double crochet of previous round),
*chain 2, skip 1 stitch, single crochet into next stitch, chain 2, skip 1 stitch, 5 double
crochet into next stitch, repeat from *3 more times ending with chain 2, skip 1 stitch,
single crochet into next stitch, chain 2, skip 1 stitch, work 2 double crochets into same
stitch where this round started and join to turning chain with slip stitch.
- Chain 2, 2 double crochet into same stitch (middle stitch of 5 double crochets),
*chain 1, skip 1 stitch, 1 double crochet into next stitch, chain 2, skip 1 stitch,
single crochet into next stitch (single crochet of previous round), chain 2, skip 1 stitch,
double crochet into next stitch, chain 1, skip one stitch, double crochet in the next stitch,
