Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Create the Flower Foundation

1. Prepare the Base (Magic Circle):
   • Wrap the yellow thread 18 times loosely around your finger.
   • Insert the crochet hook through the loops, grab the working thread, and pull through to create a tight circle.
2. Round 1:
   • Work 30 Sc stitches directly into the ring formed by the thread loops.
   • Slip Stitch into the 1st Sc to join.
3. Round 2:
   • Stay with the same yellow thread.
   • Work 1 Sc in each stitch around (total 30 Sc to maintain the circle).
   • Join with a Sl St to complete the round. Cut the thread and weave in ends for a neat finish.

Step 2: Add Petals Base Layer (Red)

1. Attach Red Thread:
   • Make a slip knot and attach the red thread into any Sc from Round 2 with a Sl St.
2. Round 3 (Petal Prep):
   • (Sc, Ch 1, Skip 1 stitch): Repeat this pattern around to create gaps for petals.
   • Join with a Sl St to the first Sc. Cut the thread and weave in ends.

Step 3: Add Decorative Layer (Green)

1. Attach Green Thread:
   • Insert the hook into any Ch-1 space (gap created in Round 3).
   • Secure with a Ch stitch.
2. Round 4 (V-Pattern):
   • (Sc, Ch 2, Sc into the next Ch-1 gap): Repeat this pattern around.
   • At the end of the round, join with a Sl St. Cut the thread and weave in ends neatly.

Step 4: Add Upper Petals (White)

1. Attach White Thread:
   • Insert the hook into any gap created by the green round and secure with a Ch.
2. Round 5 (Petals):
   • (Ch 2, 1 Dc, Ch 2, Sl St in the next gap): Repeat this pattern in all gaps to create petal shapes.
   • Join with a Sl St into the starting stitch, cut the thread, and weave in ends.

Step 5: Create Two Leaves (Green)

1. Foundation Chain for Each Leaf:
   • With green thread, Ch 12.
2. Leaf Body:
   • Skip 1st chain and work the following:
     • 1 Sc in the 2nd chain.
     • 1 Hdc in the next chain.
     • 1 Dc in the next chain.
     • In the next chain, make 5 Tr to create the leaf’s peak.
     • Resume downward: 1 Dc, 1 Hdc, 1 Sc in the next chains.
3. Create Second Leaf (Optional):
   • After completing the first leaf, Ch 12 from the base of the first leaf and repeat the pattern above.
4. Finish:
   • Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Use this to attach the leaves to the bottom of the flower.

Step 6: Create the Tassel

1. Wrap the Thread:
   • Take the thread (any color of your choice) and wrap it loosely around your four fingers about 15 times.
   • Slide the loops off your fingers and tie them in the middle with a separate piece of thread.
2. Bundle & Wrap:
   • Fold the loops downwards to form the tassel.
   • Use another piece of thread to wrap around the top, creating a neat tassel head.
3. Attach the Tassel:
   • Sew or tie the tassel to the bottom center of the flower.

Final Assembly

1. Attach Leaves and Tassel to Flower:
   • Sew the pendant (leaves + tassel) securely to the center back of the flower using the long tail left from the leaves.
   • Ensure the tassel hangs between the two leaves in the center.
2. Add Keyring/Attachment (Optional):
   • To make this into a bag charm or keychain, attach a keyring to the flower or tassel top with a jump ring or thread.

Tips & Customization Ideas
