🌼 Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Create the Red 3D Flower

1. Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring in red yarn.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st).
3. Round 2 (Petals): (Chain 2, 2 double crochets [dc], chain 2, sl st) into the same stitch to create a petal. Repeat in each stitch to form 6 petals.
4. Round 3 (Layered Look): Work behind the first layer of petals by crocheting into the base of Round 1. Repeat petal pattern for a second layer.

Your flower should now look full and layered.
