One layered croshet flower - tutorial

For this pattern I used 4mm crochet hook and yarn - Manada, from Teteks, Skopje. Also I used those stitches in US terms:
SC - insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.
HDC - yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook.
DC - yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook (two loops left on hook), yarn over and pull through remaining two loops.
TC - yarn over two times, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop through the stitch ( four loops on hook ), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook ( three loops remaining on hook ), yarn over and pull through two loops on hook ( two loops remaining on hook ), yarn over and pull through the last two loops on hook.
SLST - insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook.
Start with magic ring, see here .
Make 18 DC in ring and the last DC join with a SLST with first made DC and fasten off, shown on the pictures bellow:



Knot the second yarn ( more for this see here .


Make two SC in every stitch. The last SC join with a SLST to first SC. You should have a circle like this with 36 stitches around.


Now with the same yarn make five stitches and join them with a SLST in the 6-Th stitch from the hook:


You should have 6 chain-5 spaces around the circle.

Fasten off. Knot another color like I showed above.
Now you are working the petals and you are working under the chain-5 spaces. Pull a loop


and then work SC,HDC,DC,TR,TR,DC,HDC,SC in every chain-5 space. The first petal should be like this:

The last SC join with a SLST with the first made SC:

And the one layered crochet flower is over!

I hope you'll enjoy!

Decision

I wasn't here for a ling time, those who follow my blog have noticed... This time I have good reason. I had little operation, which is not too serious, but it happened when I that everything is OK...
And "Thank You God!"
Because I stopped, took a breath i thought out about everything. Fist of all I made few decisions - non important for the humanity, but very important for me :
1. No more stress, nervousness and time lines
2. I'll be vegetarian, with tendency of being Vegan ( for those who are asking Why, I recommend the book " How I won cancer" from Dr.Lorin Dey )
3. I'll spent much more time with people I love, although some of them aren't with me physical, I'm still with them all the time
4. I'll spent more time doing the things I love, like my hobbies, which are a lot, trust me
5. And, I don't want make thing just because I must!
And in mid time while I accomplish my decisions,I make experiments in my kitchen ( one of the thing i love is cooking) and this is one of my cook - creations:
True macrobiotic bun!
It's very tasty! Mmmmmmmmm!
