- Two different yarn colors for the flower petals and the stem (plus a third color for the flower center)
- Cotton yarn
- Crochet hook (2.5 mm)
- Scissors
- Keyring
- Stitch marker
- Stuffing
Flower Petals:
- Start with a magic circle.
- Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic circle.
- Pull the circle close, but not too tight; keep crocheting the next row before tightening completely.
Second row:
- Alternate 1 sc with increases (2 sc in the same stitch) until the end of the row; you should have 9 stitches at the end.
- Insert a stitch marker at the beginning of the row.
- Pull the magic circle tight.
- Push the circle outwards to shape the petal correctly.
Third row:
- 1 sc in the first two stitches, then an increase; repeat until the end of the row.
Fourth row:
- 1 sc in the first three stitches, then an increase; repeat until the end of the row.
Rows 5-9:
- 1 sc in each of the 15 stitches across.
Tenth row:
- Start with a decrease (merge two stitches into one), then 1 sc in the next six stitches, another decrease, and finally, 1 sc in the last five stitches.
Eleventh row:
- 1 sc in the first three stitches, a decrease, 1 sc in the next three stitches, a decrease, 1 sc, another decrease. You should have 10 stitches at the end.
Twelfth row:
- 1 sc, a decrease, 1 sc in the next two stitches, a decrease, and end with 1 sc in the last three stitches.
Last row:
- 1 sc across all eight stitches.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch, cut off the yarn, and weave in the ends.
- Make six petals in this manner.
Flower Stem:
- Start with a magic circle.
- Crochet 6 sc into the magic circle.
- Pull the circle close, but not completely tight, after the second row.
Rows 2-7:
- 1 sc across all six stitches for each row.
Eighth row:
- Alternate 1 sc with increases until you have 9 stitches.
Ninth row:

Tenth row:
- 1 sc in the first three stitches, then an increase, and repeat until the end of the row.
Eleventh row:

- Slip stitch into the next stitch, leaving a long tail for attaching the stem to the flower later on.
- Weave in the end.
Center of the Flower:
- Start with a magic circle.
- Make 9 sc into the magic circle.
- For the second row, do an increase in each of these stitches, doubling the number to 18 stitches.
- Start attaching flower petals one by one to the flower center; use slip stitches to connect three stitches on each petal to the center circle stitches.
- Once all petals are attached, slip stitch into the first stitch, cut the yarn, and weave in the end.
Assembly:
- Attach the stem to the flower part using the long tail you left on the stem.
- Stitch through the inner loops of the stem's stitches to the outer loops of the flower petal's stitches.
- Before completing the attachment and closing up, add stuffing to the stem.
- Finish attaching the stem and then slip stitch into the next stitch, cut off the yarn, and weave in the ends.
- Attach a keyring to the top of the stem.
