Another variation you could make, is to crochet rounds 1 & 2 in the same colour and add an embellishment.

These sweet little rose embellishments are freely available in craft shops and add a lovely touch to your flowers. You can sew them to the centre of your crochet flower, or use a hot glue gun like I did.

These crochet flowers were made in cream yarn and embellished with little felt flowers………I left out out the final layer of petals to make them 2-layer.
