Five Petal Flowers

January was my month for flowers and I had planned to post this before the end of that month, but clearly I did not. Nevertheless, here they are now in February/felt month. They are pretty much just a variation on my six-petal flowers. The three on the right have slightly more pointed petals. I like to think they are star-shaped (humor me). The variation for them is at the end.

Five Petal Flowers
you will need:
worsted weight yarn in three colors: A, B and C
an "H" hook

round 1: with color A and using a magic ring, chain 1 (doesn't count as 1st single crochet) 10 single crochet in ring; slip stitch in 1st single crochet. Tighten ring. Fasten off color A.

round 2: attach color B in any single crochet; chain 1; 2 single crochet in same stitch and in each stitch around; slip stitch in top of 1st single crochet. Fasten off color B. (20 single crochet)

round 3: attach color C in 2nd single crochet of any single crochet pair; chain 1; 1 long single crochet (insert hook into single crochet of round 1, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook. Long single crochet made); (half double crochet in next stitch; 3 double crochet in next stitch; half double crochet in next stitch; long single crochet over next stitch) 5 times except instead of last long single crochet, sli stitch in top of 1st long single crochet. Fasten off. Work ends in. (5 petals made)

Star Variation
same as five petal flowers, except in round 3 where you would make the 3 double crochets in one stitch, make 1 double crochet, 1 treble crochet, 1 double crochet.
