Step 1: Creating the Flower

Row 1: Start the Base

4. Repeat [ch4, 1dc] for a total of 12 repetitions.

2. In the first chain-3 space, work (1dc, ch2, 2dc).
3. Repeat (1dc, ch2, 2dc) in each of the next 12 chain-3 spaces.

 3: Shape the Petals

1. Chain 1 and turn.
2. In each chain-2 space:
   • Work 8 double crochets (dc).
   • Then make a slip stitch (sl st) into the joint.
3. Repeat [8dc, sl st] 11 times.
4. For the last chain-2 space, work 13 double crochets (13dc).

Curl the Rose

1. Curl the "curly-wurly" row around to form a rose shape.
2. Use a yarn needle to stitch through the base, securing the petals in place.
3. Hide any yarn tails neatly to complete the flower.

2: Creating the Calyx

1. Start with a magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 2.
   • Work 15 half double crochets (hdc) inside the ring.
   • Pull the tail to tighten the loop, then join with a slip stitch.
3. Calyx Petals:
   • Chain 6.
   • In the chain, work the following:
     • Slip stitch into the first chain.
     • Single crochet (sc) in the next chain.
     • Half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain.
     • Double crochet (dc) in the next chain.
     • Treble crochet (tr) in the last chain.
   • Slip stitch into the base, skipping 2 stitches, and repeat the pattern for 4 more "petals."
   • While creating the 4th slip stitch, insert the hair tie into the calyx.

3: Creating the Leaf

1. Start with a chain of 10.
2. Work back to the 2nd chain from the hook using the following sequence:
   • Stitch Pattern: Slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, 3 double crochets, half double crochet, single crochet.
3. Work along the other side of the chain using the same pattern in reverse to complete the leaf.
4. End with a slip stitch and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.

4: Assembling the Hair Tie

1. Attach the leaf to the calyx using the long tail.
2. Fix the flower onto the center of the calyx.
3. Ensure yarn tails are securely hidden for a neat finish.
