Steps:

1. Holding the Yarn

2. Crochet a Magic Ring(MR) with 10 single crochets(sc)

3. Closing the Ring

4. Reinsert the hook into the loop and adjust the loop size by pulling the long yarn

5. Insert the hook into the first stitch

6. 1 slip stitch(sl)

7. 3 chain stitches(ch)

8. Then, work 2 double crochets (dc) in the first stitch.
(1)    Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull up a loop (now 3 loops on the hook).
(2)    Yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops (2 loops remain on the hook).
(3)    Yarn over again, pull through the remaining 2 loops (one double crochet completed). 

9. 1 double crochet(dc) in next stitch

10. 3 chain stitches(ch), then work 1 slip stitch(sl) into the same stitch

11. Repeat steps 5–10 four more times to make a total of 5 petals, with each petal worked over 2 stitches

12. Fasten off and use a yarn needle to weave in the ends securely

13. Well done! You've just finished a cute little flower
