Pattern notes
The e-book starts with pattern diagram and then the instructions follows (in American Standard Terms, See appendix for conversion to British).
Materials Note :
I recommend using a 100% mercerized cotton thread in
Sizes #20 & #40. I've used thread from "Venus" brand, but the more popular Lizbeth, DMC or Anchor brands have sizes #20 & #40 thread that can be used and should be easier to find (or any other brand for that matter). I've created a page in my Blog where I updated a list of recommended tested threads - see here. \* If you have problem finding the material needed, don't hesitate to contact me and Ill do my best to help.

Making the Base Ring
Crocheting the base ring is a crucial part for completing the ring flowers, it is the head of the flower where all the petals are attached to. Once you master the technique below, you can crochet any size of head you want. The technique below will produce a \~0.5" head (1.3cm). To make the base ring we need something cylindrical (I used a pen in the photos), we'll tightly circle the pen with our base color (10 times) - take the ring shaped thread out, and do single crochet around it. Here is a photo tutorial for the entire process :
Step 1 - Pick your cylindrical object
Step 2 - Tighten your head thread around it
Step 3 - Try to keep it tight, but not too tight, as it will be difficult to take it out later.
Step 4 - Make 10 loops
Making the Base Ring (#2)
Step 5 - Slide the thread out
Step 6 - Keep the original shape
Step 7 - Slide the hook inside the ring
Step 8 - Create a single crochet through the ring
Step 9 - Complete the Single Crochet
Step 10 - Tighten the Single crochet and continue to make the next single crochet
Making the Base Ring (#3)
Step 11 - Keep doing single crochets
Step 13 - Finish the ring by tightening the extra thread (can be done with a needle), then cut thread.
Step 15 - Create a loop
Step 12 - This how it looks after half of the ring
Step 14 - For the Petals, take your petals thread
Step 14 - Slide the hook through the scin the ring. and grab the loop
Making the Base Ring (#4)
Step 17 - Grab the loop and slide back and complete the single crochet
Step 12 - Complete the Single Crochet and start doing the channels (if you make ring flower #2)
Step 13 - After finish the 5 channels
Step 14 - Connect to the sc in the ring, and keep crocheting the petals That's it :) Enjoy using your beautiful new ring flowers in any of your projects, try them a jewelry applique, table, wall or mirror decor, clothing applique and many many more creative projects.
