I think Im going to start crocheting again. I just turned 14 and Ive been crocheting for 3 years. :]
I miss it.. I was working on a nice baby blanket.

Okay, that makes sense! I'll try again tonight, and keep tucking the petals back as I go along. I'd love to try the second set of petals too. Maybe I'll e-mail you a picture if it comes out okay.
Thanks again for all your help, and amazing videos!

There is a little secret to the tighter holes. I hope this will make sense. When the stitches start getting to close, you grasp the chain in one hand and the stitches in the other hand and give them a big tug back so they pull away from the first stitch.

Hi Theresa :) I've done a flower with these instructions, but I'm finding that after DCing 10 times in that little bitty 3-chain hole, the bulk start hanging over/covering up the next 3-chain hole. I ended up doing a 7-chain circle, and 5 5-chains slip-stitched to the circle to see if making it bigger helped. It sort of did!
I'm still very new, and I'm sure that's part of the problem, but do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

The reason it bends/folds is because you're Double-crocheting 10 times into that little 3 chain to make the petal. All that yarn smooshed together creates that effect. If you were to only DC, say, 5 into the chain, it wouldn't do that :)
Hope that helps!

You can make it with any size hook that you would like to use.
