Step 4:

- Next stitch, make 1 dc.
- Wrap yarn twice around the hook and make a tall chain loop over next 3 stitches, placing 1 dc in each.
- Complete the tall loop with another dc, then chain 1 and fix onto the following single crochet.
Step 6:
- Make 3 sc in a ring space, fix 4th sc on the single crochet.
- Repeat to fill 6 spaces evenly.

Flower Base (Stem & Petals)

Step 2:
- Slip stitch and ch 1, then work 8 rows of tight stitches (sc) in the same manner, keeping the stitch count consistent.

- Ch 3 at the beginning of each row for height, then make 3 dc into each stitch around (total of 10 spaces per row).
- Complete the 2nd and 3rd rows similarly with 3 dc in each chain space.
Step 4:
- For the last row, ch 2, and make a sc on top of each stitch, ensuring tight finishing stitches.
