Sew together Part 1 (Middle Circle) and Part 3 (Little Flower)

At this point, sew on Middle Circle using the 60cm (24 inch) thread in color C.
Place the Middle Circle in the middle of the Little Flower, insert thread through one of the petals between
ch3 and 1st tr, insert in the middle of the circle, insert between 2nd tr and ch3, insert in the middle of the
circle...repeat around. Tie the ends together and cut off any extra thread.
I hope the pictures will make it more clear :)

Part 3 (Little Flower)
Hold the Large Petals facing front toward you.

from back to front. Leave the thread on the back side. Now

Headband
This is a completely basic headband, not my invention :) I'm just posting it here to save you the work looking
for it. I chose the headband to have the same width as the Middle Circle, and I used the same color as well.
If you want to make it wider simply add more chains at the beginning
[6]
Row 1 ch6
Row 2 sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc in the following 4 chains, turn [5]
Row 3 ch2 (does not count as 1st dc), dc in each of the sc, turn [5]
Row 4 ch1 (does not count as 1st sc), sc in each of the dc, turn [5]

Repeat Row3 and Row4 until the desired length is achieved. Sew ends together or attach them with sc (put
both ends of the head band with the back side together, sc through both ends)

I hope you have fun crocheting my flower :)

I would love to see what you did,
so if you like, share your works on ravelry
