How to make a 3D crocheted three-leafed flower

Creating a 3D crocheted three-leafed flower involves working in rounds to form the petals and then assembling them to give the flower a three-dimensional appearance. Here’s a simple pattern for a 3D crocheted three-leafed flower:

Materials Needed:

Worsted weight yarn in desired colors (for flower and leaves)
Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn, usually 4.5 mm to 5.5 mm)
Yarn needle
Scissors

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)

Instructions:

Flower:

Round 1:

Make a magic ring (or magic circle).
Ch 1, work 6 sc into the magic ring.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (6 sts)

Round 2:

Ch 1, work 2 sc in each st around.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (12 sts)

Round 3:

Ch 1, sc in the first st, 2 sc in the next st; repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (18 sts)

Round 4:

Ch 1, sc in the first two sts, 2 sc in the next st; repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (24 sts)

Round 5:

Ch 1, sc in the first three sts, 2 sc in the next st; repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (30 sts)

Round 6:

Ch 1, sc in the first four sts, 2 sc in the next st; repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the first sc. (36 sts)

Petals:

Note: You will work the petals around the flower in this step.

Petal 1:

Ch 3 (counts as the first dc), dc in the same st, ch 2, sl st in the same st (first petal made).
Sl st in the next st, ch 3, dc in the same st, ch 2, sl st in the same st; repeat this sequence around until you have 6 petals.
