Irish flower pin

Flower pin made with the Irish tricolour

St. Patrick's Day is next month. This green, white, and orange flower pin is a perfect way to show your Irishness.

I used the simple flower as a starting point but instead of making 5 petals I crocheted 10 into the center ring:

[p] ch 7; sl st into 1st ch; [ch 4; 3 tr (wrap2x) into center ring; ch 4; sl st into center ring] x 10;

When the orange flower was complete with 10 petals, I pushed every other up, and in the space I sewed 5 curly leaves (same as the cherry leaves):

[p] ch 10, sl st into 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc (UKdc) into next ch, 5 dc (wrap1x, UKtr) into each ch, 1 sc next ch, sl st into last ch.
