Crochet Flowers

This pattern (copied below) comes from Woolcrafting. I found a lot of crochet flower patterns stemming from Crochet Pattern Central. I'd like to get back to crocheting again. I did a lot of granny squares a few years ago. The crochet flowers would be really nice. I could get a magnetic strip from some craft supplies store and cover my fridge with crocheted posies. It would be really pretty!

For this crochet flower pattern I used a light worsted weight cotton yarn and size 4mm hook. You can just use a hook to suit the yarn you choose. It also depends how 'open' you want the flower to look. I wanted a more 'filled in' look. For a more lacy and delicate - use a finer yarn or thread.

It is all worked from the same side - no need to turn it over after each row. I just use the term 'turning chain' as it is widely recognized.
