I made this beautiful flower as an accessory for my daughter's tote bag. It's really easy to make and costs almost nothing since it requires so little yarn. You can even use any scraps that you have lying around!

Materials:
Size I Crochet Hook
Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in 3 colors. I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Yellow, Hot Pink, and Hot Orange.
Tapestry or darning needle, for weaving ends
Ladybug Button (optional)

Abbreviations:
mc - magic circle
ch - chain
dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
