Quick Crochet Flower - Free Pattern

Occasionally I will treat myself with some special yarn. Lately I've been loving hand dyed yarn. I got some beautiful yarn from Wearable Personality (go check out her new yarn shop Fashion Fiber Co.) and I made my Helena Cowl pattern. I only had a little bit of yarn left, and I hate to let such pretty yarn go to waste.

I chose to use the remaining yarn to make flowers for my 3 daughters. They love hair pretties, and I had just enough yarn left to make the 3 flowers. I attached 2 of them to hair clips for my older daughters, and attached the last one to a nylon headband for my youngest.

Materials:
Small amounts of yarn (I used worsted weight #4 yarn)
Desired hook size (I used a size H 5mm hook)
Scissors
Needle for weaving in ends
Optional - hair clips or nylon headbands

Abbreviations (US terms):
Sl st - Slip Stitch
CH - Chain
Ch-sp - Chain Space
SC - Single Crochet
HDC - Half Double Crochet
St(s) - Stitch(es)

Notes:
This flower is worked in the round.
