Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Green Backside (Round 1)

1. Begin with green yarn and create a magic ring.
2. Chain 1 inside the ring (do not count this chain as a stitch). Pull the chain slightly higher.
3. Work 4 unfinished half double crochets in the magic ring.
   • Yarn over, insert the hook into the ring, yarn over, pull up a loop, then repeat until 4 unfinished half double crochets are done.
4. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
5. Complete the group by making 1 single crochet.
6. Repeat this pattern to create 10 stitch groups in total.
7. Pull the tail from the magic ring to close the circle.
8. Finish Round 1 by doing a slip stitch through the first space.

Step 2: Backside (Round 2 – Single Crochet Round)

1. Chain 1 to start Round 2.
2. Work 1 single crochet in each space across the round (19 spaces).
3. In the final stitch of this round, do an increase (2 single crochets in the same space). This ensures you have 20 single crochets total.
4. Secure the round with a slip stitch into the first space.

Step 3: Create the Chain for the Keychain Loop

1. Chain 60 to form the keychain loop.
2. Fold the chain back and insert the hook into the first space of the previous round.
3. Slip stitch to secure the chain loop, then chain 1 and cut off the yarn.
4. The green backside of the flower is now complete.

Step 4: Make the Brown Flower Center

1. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2, using brown yarn this time to create the frontside center (the same pattern as the backside).
2. Do not chain 60 in the brown center piece.

Step 5: Attach Green Backside and Brown Flower Center

1. Place the brown center and the green backside together (flat, back-to-back).
2. Insert the hook through any stitch of the brown piece and the corresponding stitch of the green piece.

Step 6: Crochet the Yellow Petals

1. Attach the yellow yarn to the connected pieces.
2. Chain 3 in the first space, then work 4 unfinished half double crochets into the same space.
3. Move to the next space, repeat 4 unfinished half double crochets and connect the sides.
4. Yarn over, pull through all loops, chain 3, and slip stitch into the first chain.
5. Repeat the petal formation to create 10 petals.
6. Use a slip stitch in the first space of the round to close.
7. Secure the end by tying knots and cutting the yarn.

Step 7: Final Touch and Secure the Keychain

1. Tie off any remaining yarn tails securely and hide them inside the flower.
2. Attach the finished sunflower to a keyring or loop (optional).
