Flower Power Hairclip

So my daughter wanted a flower hairclip to wear to school, and she just started Pre-K, so this mom could not say no! :-)
I searched for a good flower that would lie flat after crocheting so it would be close to the head and not be to "floppy" if you know what I mean!

So, here is my version of a cute "flower power" hairclip.  This flower could easily be added to a headband or hairclip.

Chain 91 stitches.
SC in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch until end (90 sts)
Turn, *ch 3, skip 2 sc, sc in next st*, repeat from * to * to end
Turn, ch 3, *3 dc in ch 3 space, sl st in sc*, repeat from * to * to end
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.

At this point you will have a long piece of crochet.  I like to run a "basting stitch" through the base and cinch the bottom together and start turning the flower around on itself.  I then stitch the flower together on the backside using the leftover long tail from finishing off.

Voila - a beautiful flower you can glue on a hair clip, sew on a purse or jacket, connect it to a headband, your possibilities are endless!
