Crochet an anemone

I had to crochet some flowers for this pink sweater and did some experimenting with new flower shapes. This one looks like an anemone:



These are the instructions in case someone is interested in crocheting anemones. And beware, I'm not a crochet expert and I might have done things differently than I should have.

sl st: slip stitch
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
tr: treble

Instructions:
1. Start with an adjustable ring. Instead of ch3, ch1. Sc 7. Close the ring by doing a sl st into the first sc.

2. Ch 5. Hdc1 into the 3rd ch. Dc 1 into the 2nd ch. Dc 1 into the 1st ch. Sl st1 into sc. *Ch 5. Hdc 1 into the 3rd ch. Dc1 into the 2nd ch. Dc 1 into the 1st ch. Sl st1 into next sc.* Repeat from * 7 times Hdc1 into the 3rd ch. Dc 1 into the 2nd ch. Dc1 into the 1st ch. Sl st1 into sl st from previous row.

3. Turn your work. Pick the bar in the middle at the end of the 1st petal (see picture). It's part of the sc from the first row and make a sl st. Ch 6. Hdc 1 into 4th ch. Dc 1 into 3rd ch. Tr 1 into 2nd ch. Tr 1 into 1st ch.





*Pick the bar in the middle at the end of the next petal. It's part of the sc from the first row and make a sl st. Ch 6. Hdc 1 into 4th ch. Dc 1 into 3rd ch. Tr 1 into 2nd ch. Tr 1 into 1st ch.* The last petal ends with a sl st into the first ch of the first petal.

By the way, the petals in the pictures look so straight, because I made a mistake.

Yarn: Schachenmayr "Jazz", 50 % cotton, 50 % acrylic
Hook: 3.5 mm, but I think 4 mm would probably be better.
