Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Start the Center

With pink:
- Chain 5, join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
- Chain 3 (counts as double crochet), work 11 more double crochet into ring (12 dc total).
- Join with a slip stitch to top of chain-3.

2. Foundation Loops for Petals

Chain 5, front post single crochet around next dc from previous round, repeat the sequence of “chain 5, front post sc” around. You should have 12 loops.
Join with a slip stitch to the base of the first loop.

3. Create Yellow Flower Petals

Join yellow into any chain-5 space before a petal (alternate spaces will be skipped).
In chain-5 space: Chain 3, dc in same space (counts as 2 dc closed together),
- (Yarn over, insert hook, pull up loop, pull through 2) twice, then yarn over pull through all loops—forms two double crochet closed together.*
Repeat to make 5 groups (2 dc closed together each), all in the same loop/space.
Skip next chain-5 space; repeat petal clusters in the following space.
Continue for all 6 petals.
Join with slip stitch. Fasten off yellow.

4. Form the Pink Star Pattern Between Petals

Join pink to any empty chain-5 space (spaces not used for yellow petals).
In each space, work 2 single crochet, insert hook through both the chain space and yellow petal base, work 1 single crochet, and finish with 2 more single crochet in the chain space (5 sc per space).
Continue around and join with a slip stitch to the beginning.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

5. Lilac Petal Rounds

Join lilac in the first stitch of any yellow petal.
In each petal, work 2 single crochet in each stitch across (10 sc per petal).
Repeat for each petal around.
Join with a slip stitch. Do not fasten off.

6. Petal Edge with Pink and Picot

Using pink, in back loops only of the first 5 sc of each petal, work 1 dc in each of 5 sts,
Chain 3, slip stitch into first ch (picot): forms a point at petal tip.
Work 5 more dc (in back loops only) on the petal.
At the petal space between petals, single crochet to join petal tip to center.
Repeat for each petal.
Join and fasten off.

7. Green Placemat Foundation

Join green yarn to any round of loops at the flower back.
[dc, ch 1, dc] in each space (for a total of 12 spaces).
Join with slip stitch.
Optional as per size desired: Continue alternating rounds as follows:
- Next round: [dc in space(s), ch 1, dc in same space] around.
- Following rounds: [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc], and so on, increasing number of dc and chains between as the round grows.
For added size, keep increasing by adding space chains or clusters.
Join and fasten off. Sew in all ends.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Use bright, contrasting yarns for extra pop.
For easier stitching, keep the yarns not in use at the back and carry through, or cut and rejoin if needed for neater results.
This pattern is customizable—make each flower unique with your own color combos!

Finishing Touches

Block your flower for best shape—simply dampen and pin to shape, letting it dry flat.
Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle for a professional finish.

Crochet Tip

Keep your tension even, especially when switching colors, for best results. If you’re new to color changes, practice weaving in your ends as you go for a tidier back.
