5.0 mm (H/8) crochet hook
yarn needle for weaving in ends
3-5 beads or small sequins(optional)
sewing thread to match center of flower (optional)
sewing needle (optional)
Notes
When I say to slip stitch into back center stitch of first petal I mean to work into the vertical threads found at the base and only on the back of the center st of the first petal as shown in photo.
This flower was designed so that the petals pulled together to form a cupped flower shape.
See option for beaded center below.
Special Stitch:
edc (extended double crochet): yo, insert hook in st, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop on hook, [yo and pull through two loops on hook] twice.
