Sure, here’s a basic description of how to crochet a 3-layer flower using a simple pattern. Remember to adjust the yarn and hook size to your preference for the size of flower you want.

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn in your desired colors
  • Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • sc: single crochet
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • dc: double crochet

Instructions:

Layer 1:

  1. Start with a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring).
  2. Round 1: Ch 1, 10 sc into the ring, join with a sl st to the first sc. (10 sc)
  3. Round 2: Ch 1, sc in next st, ch 3 repeat around, join with a sl st to the first sc. (10 ch-3 spaces)
  4. Round 3: Sl st into the first ch-3 space, ch 1, (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in the same ch-3 space, ch 1, sl st in the next ch-3 space repeat around. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Layer 2:

  1. Join a new color yarn in any ch-1 space from Layer 1.
  2. Round 1: Ch 1, (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in the ch-1 space, sl st in the next ch-1 space repeat around. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Layer 3:

  1. Join a new color yarn in any ch-1 space from Layer 2.
  2. Round 1: Ch 1, (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in the ch-1 space, sl st in the next ch-1 space repeat around. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Finishing:

  1. Thread the long tail from Layer 3 through the yarn needle.
  2. Use the yarn needle to sew through the back loops of the stitches in Layer 1, gently gathering them to create a slightly cupped shape for the flower.
  3. Once you’ve gone all the way around, pull the yarn tight to cinch the layers together and secure with a knot.
  4. Weave in any remaining ends.

And that’s it! You’ve crocheted a simple 3-layer flower. You can customize it further by playing with colors, adding beads to the center, or attaching it to a hairpin, a headband, or any other project you have in mind. Happy crocheting!
