Pattern: Step-by-Step

Central Medallion

1. Make the Center Ring:

Make an initial loop and chain 8 stitches.
Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.

2. First Round:

Inside the ring: Chain 2 (counts as first single crochet), then work 11 single crochet (sc) into the ring (total 12 sc including the chain).
Join with a slip stitch in the top of the initial chain.

3. Second Round:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), chain 2 for space, skip one stitch, then double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, chain 2, skip one stitch. Repeat from * to * around for a total of 12 dc with ch-2 spaces.
Slip stitch to top of initial ch-3.

4. Third Round:

Into each ch-2 space: Single crochet, chain 3, single crochet into the next ch-2 space.
Repeat around for 12 ch-3 spaces.

5. Fourth Round (Petals):

In each chain-3 space: Yarn over, work 4 dc together (keep last loop of each dc on hook, then pull through all at the end), chain 1 to close.
Chain 3, and repeat the petal (4 dc together, chain 1, chain 3) in each space for 12 petals in total.
Slip stitch to initial ch-1, then fasten off and weave in the end.

Leaf Motif (Make 8)

1. Start with Center Seam:

Chain 12.
Starting from 3rd chain from hook, single crochet in each chain across (11 sc).

2. Turning the Leaf:

At the end, in last chain: (Single crochet, chain 2, single crochet) all in one stitch.

3. Work Back:

Continue single crochet in each stitch along the other side, leaving last two loops unworked (this creates one ‘step’ for the leaf edge).

4. Continue for Each Row:

Chain 1, turn, single crochet in each sc until you reach the tip (chain-2 space).
In tip: (sc, ch 2, sc).
On each return row, always leave last two stitches unworked (to shape the leaf points).

5. Repeat

Repeat turning and not working the last two as you form the three 'steps' on each side (approx 6-7 rows depending on tension).

6. Finish

Fasten off, leaving a tail for joining.

Assembling the Leaves

1. Join Leaves:

With right sides together, slip stitch the tip of one leaf to the tip of the next leaf.
Join all 8 leaves together in a ring, connecting the tips.

Attaching Leaves to Center

1. Join Center to Leaf Ring:

With yarn, attach into any ch-3 space of the central piece.
In each ch-3 space, work 5 sc.
At intervals (depending on alignment), join the tip of a leaf to the center by inserting the hook through both and completing a sc together.
Alternate so that leaves are evenly spaced, and all are connected to the central motif.
Continue around, joining wherever tip and space meet. Slip stitch to finish.

2. Weave in all remaining ends neatly on the wrong side.

Uses

Table centerpiece
Under a vase or candle holder
Decorative tray mat

Tip

For extra elegance, lightly block your finished centerpiece with steam or by pinning dampened work to shape, so petals and leaves lay flat.
