About this pattern

A 4-round crochet flower worked from a chain-8 ring, built with treble crochets and one extended-yarn-over stitch to form 5 petals, finished with a chain-12 join for linking flowers into a curtain. It uses only a crochet hook and yarn, no stuffing or wire, and the flower count scales with curtain width, since each unit joins to the next through its chain-12 tail.

This is a single flower motif built to chain into a curtain, not a stand-alone appliqué. Construction starts with a chain-8 ring, then works outward in 4 rounds: the ring, the first petal, four repeat petals, and a chain-12 extension that becomes the join to the next flower. The number that matters most is 5 — the total petal count per flower, set by repeating the Round 2 petal structure four additional times in Round 3. Each petal uses a treble crochet, a special extended-yarn-over stitch, and a second treble crochet between two chain-3 arches, so petal count and chain-12 length are the two checks to make before moving to the next flower.

Main Pattern

Round 1Make a slip knot and insert your crochet hook into the loop; chain 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8); insert your hook into the first chain you made, and make a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 2First Petal Chain 3; make a treble crochet (yarn over two times, insert hook into ring, pull yarn through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through next two loops, yarn over, pull through last two loops); yarn over three times, then make a special stitch (similar to the treble crochet but with an extra yarn over at the beginning); perform another treble crochet; chain 3, then insert your hook into the ring and make a slip stitch to complete the petal.

Round 3Remaining Petals Repeat Round 2 four more times to create a total of five petals; each petal starts with a chain 3, includes a treble crochet, the special stitch with three yarn overs, another treble crochet, and ends with a chain of 3 followed by a slip stitch into the ring.

Round 4Chain 12; this chain serves as the start of your flower curtain attachment.

Assembly

Step 1Cut your yarn, leaving a tail. Pull the yarn through your final loop and secure it. Create a loop with the tail for attaching to a chain or another part of your project.

Step 2If you are adding this flower to others in a curtain, do not cut the yarn after the chain 12. Instead, use it to attach to another flower: pick up another completed flower; insert your hook where you left off, then into the tip of the next flower; pull yarn through both flowers, chain one, then cut the yarn and pull through to secure.

Step 3Create a chain of the desired length to hang your flowers on. Hang each flower by the loop created after the chain 12.

Tester's notes

8 chains form the opening ring in Round 1 — count them before slip-stitching closed, since a short or long chain throws off how the 5 petals sit around it.

5 petals total come from repeating Round 2's petal 4 more times in Round 3; mark the first petal with a scrap of yarn so the repeat count doesn't drift.

The special stitch in each petal uses 3 yarn overs where the trebles on either side use 2 — keep tension even here or that one stitch will sit looser than its neighbors.

12 chains at Round 4 are the join point for the next flower; leave this tail unworked if more flowers follow, or cut and secure it per the assembly steps if this is the last flower.

Work every petal's chain-3 arches at the same tension on both sides of the treble/special-stitch group, since uneven arches show clearly once 5 of them sit side by side.

Gauge check

After Round 1, lay the chain-8 ring flat and check that the slip stitch closes it into a circle with no twist in the chain.

If the ring puckers or won't sit flat, pull out the slip stitch, re-check that the hook went into the first of the 8 chains, and redo it before starting the petals in Round 2.

If something looks wrong

The ring from Round 1 twists instead of: The slip stitch likely went into the wrong chain or the chain-8 was worked with a twist already in it; undo the slip stitch, flatten the chain, and insert into the very first chain made before closing again.
The 5 petals bunch together with no ring visible at center.: The chain-3 arches at the start or end of each petal are too short, pulling petals inward; work each chain-3 a little looser, or move up one hook size for the chain-3 sections only.
One petal stands out looser or taller than the other 4.: That petal's special stitch (the 3-yarn-over version) was likely worked with inconsistent tension compared to the 2-yarn-over trebles beside it; re-work that stitch alone, matching the tension of the previous petal's special stitch.
The chain-12 join at Round 4 twists: The chain was worked with a half-twist before inserting into the next flower's tip; untwist the chain-12 fully flat before inserting the hook into the next flower, per the assembly join step.

Yarn substitutions

Cotton, worsted weight	Holds the chain-8 ring and chain-12 join more rigid for a crisper curtain drape; stitch definition on the 5 petals sharpens, but tension shows mistakes faster, so petal counts are easier to verify at a glance.
Acrylic, worsted weight	Keeps stitches soft and slightly more forgiving on tension across the 2 trebles and special stitch per petal; drape is looser than cotton, which suits curtains meant to move with airflow.
Wool-blend, DK weight	Produces a smaller flower overall, so the same chain-8 ring and chain-12 join come out shorter; drop to a smaller hook to keep the 5-petal shape from gapping, and expect to join more flowers to cover the same curtain width.

FAQs

Questions

How many flowers are needed for one curtain?

The pattern gives the construction for 1 flower unit with a chain-12 join built into Round 4; curtain width determines total flower count, since each unit links to the next through that chain-12 tail rather than the pattern specifying a fixed number.

What is the special stitch in the middle of each petal?

It is worked like the treble crochet used on either side of it, but starts with 3 yarn overs instead of 2. This extra yarn over makes it taller than the 2 flanking trebles, which gives the petal its pointed center.

Do the petals need a stitch marker to keep count at 5?

The pattern itself doesn't call for one, but marking the first petal before repeating Round 2 four more times in Round 3 makes it easier to confirm 5 total petals rather than losing count mid-round.
