Materials Needed:

Hook: G/4.0 mm crochet hook.
Other Supplies: Tapestry needle, scissors, bobby pin, and essential oils (optional, for fragrance).
Instructions:
Crochet Flower Pattern:
Starting the Center:
Use your first color (Pale Yellow).
Leave a tail and make a slip knot.
Chain 4.
Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
Ensure your working yarn and tail are to the left; you’ll crochet over the tail.
Put 6 single crochets into the circle.
First Round of Single Crochets:
We’re going from 6 to 9 stitches in this round.
Increase in the first stitch by making 2 single crochets.
In the next stitch, make 1 single crochet.
Increase again in the next stitch (2 single crochets).
Make 1 single crochet in the next stitch.
Increase once more (2 single crochets) followed by 1 single crochet for a total of 9 single crochets.
Slip stitch to complete the round, chain 1, and fasten off.
Adding Petals:
Use your second color (Perfect Pink).
Make a slip knot and insert it into any stitch from the last round.
Chain 4 and skip one stitch.
Slip stitch into the next stitch and chain 4 again.
Repeat the pattern of skipping a stitch and chaining 4 all the way around.
You should have 5 loops that will form the base for the petals.
Creating Petals:
Slip stitch into a chain-4 loop, chain 2 (counts as first half double crochet).
Make 9 more half double crochets in the same loop, for a total of 10 half double crochets.
Slip stitch into the next chain-4 loop, chain 2, and repeat: 9 half double crochets for a total of 10.
Continue this pattern until you have 5 petals.
Second Layer of Petals:
Fold down the petals to access the skipped stitches.
Slip stitch to the first skipped stitch space and chain 6.
Slip stitch into the next skipped stitch and chain 6.
This will form the second layer foundation for the petals.
Forming Double Crocheted Petals:
Slip stitch into a chain-6 loop.
Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), and work 9 more double crochets into the loop for a total of 10.
Repeat this step for each chain-6 loop around.
Finishing Off:
Slip stitch to the first stitch where you started and chain 2 for securing.
Fasten off your yarn and weave in any remaining ends.
Optionally, attach a bobby pin through the center to use it as a car freshener.
Optional Final Touches:
Add essential oils to the flower for fragrance.
To refresh or change the scent later, wash in cold water and let dry before re-applying essential oil.
That's it.
