Step-by-Step Instructions

Petals

Make 5 pieces. Use any yarn color, you can make multicolor petals.
1r: 6 sc in MR (6)
2r: inc*6 (12)
3r: (sc, inc*3, 2 sc)*2 (18)
4r: (3 sc, inc*2, 4 sc)*2 (22)
5r: (4 sc, inc*2, 5 sc)*2 (26)
6-7r: 2 rounds of 26 sc (26)
8r: (6 sc, dec, 5 sc)*2 (24)
9r: 24 sc (24)
10r: (6 sc, dec, 4 sc)*2 (22)
11r: 22 sc (22)
12r: 5 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec (19)
13r: (dec, 2 sc)*2, dec*2, 2 sc, dec, 3 sc (14), crochet 4 extra sc to the edge

I didn't stuff the petals. Fold the petal in half and crochet through back loops 7 sl st through both sides. Cut the yarn and hide it. We will connect the petals to the middle part and the stem through front loops only. 7 loops on each side.

Middle Part

Work in yellow color. Crochet all rounds into back loops only.

1r: 9 sc in MR (9)
2r: inc*9 (18)
3r: (2 sc, inc)*6 (24)
4r: (3 sc, inc)*6 (30) - photo 1
5r: in this round, we will crochet the petals into front loops of the last round (use 7 loops on one side).

The petal must be placed above the middle part and work into the loops that are farther from you. Draw a hook through the loop of the petal, after that into the back loops of the middle part (photo 1 on the next page) crochet 6 sc (photo 2), and crochet the 7th stitch together with the 1st stitch of the next petal and the next stitch of the middle part (photo 4).
Connect all the petals the same way. Crochet the last stitch of the petal into the 1st stitch of this round (30). Change the yarn to a green color.

Stem

Stuff in the process.

1r: work the same way as you connected the petals - crochet sc through the loops of the petal and loops of the 5th round of the middle part (30)
2r: (3 sc, dec)*6 (24)
3r: (6 sc, dec)*3 (21)
4r: (sc, dec)*7 (14)
Add some stuffing and place the wire inside the work, but at first twist the wire in a spiral.
5-44r: 40 rounds of 14 sc (14)
Twist the second tip of the wire the same way so that the wire does not crawl out.
45r: dec*7 (7)
Cut the yarn, tighten the yarn, and weave in the yarn ends.

Leaf

Work in green color.
1r: 6 sc in MR (6)
2r: 6 sc (6)
3r: (sc, inc)*3 (9)
4r: (2 sc, inc)*3 (12) 5r: (sc, inc)*6 (18)
6-7r: 2 rounds of18 sc (18) 8r: (2 sc, inc)*6 (24)
9-10r: 2 rounds of 24 sc (24)
11r: (3 sc, inc)*6 (30)
12-16r: 5 rounds of 30 sc (30)
17r: (3 sc, dec)*6 (24) 18r: 24 sc (24)
19r: (2 sc, dec)*6 (18)
20r: (sc, dec)*6 (12)
21-22r: 2 rounds of 12 sc (12)
Do not stuff. Fold the detail in half and crochet 6 sc through both sides. Leave a long yarn tail to sew. I sew between the 25th and the 31st rounds.
