so if you have yarn or crochet thread and a crochet hook. what you're gonna do is get those supplies a decent amt but it can also be odds n ends yah def dont need a whole skein. but yes so you have your supplies and now you're going to chain 2 then make a double crochet in the 1st chain. then chain 3. then you're going to make a double crochet cluster in the loop space made by the 2 chains and the double crochet you did first. so to do that you yarn over inset your hook into the space yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over insert hook back into same space yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over insert hook into same loop yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over draw through 4 loops on hook first cluster done. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 slip stitch into the first chain from the chain 3 after the first cluster essentially forming a circle with a flower in the middle. *chain 3. double crochet in the 2nd/middle chain. chain 3. make 3 clusters each separated by 3 chains in the loop. chain 1. chain another 1 this time 'grabbing' the chain 1 separating the two flowers. chain 1. make 2 double crochet clusters separated by a chain 3. chain 3 and slip stitch to first chain in the chain 3 after the first cluster.* continue from * to * as many times as you want then just break your yarn and idk do what you want with your new creation! if you use like fine weight yarn you can make dangly earrings or a choker or an earring or anklet etc. if you use thicker yarn it can be a garland. you can experiment with adding more clusters/petals but i dont think you should add less. you can also switch colours for each flower which wld be tots rad! anyways yh hope you have fun with this
