Heather's Flower, free pattern

This is the 2D version of Heather's Rose, which has an extra round of internal petals that sit up. This one is flat and has just two rounds.

these Heather's flowers were made using 4 ply cotton and a 3mm hook

My mum asked me to make her some flowers and hearts for scrapbooking, and she needed them to be flat. So I tried the first two rounds of Heather's Rose and I think it turned out quite pretty. For the larger flowers I used 4 ply white cotton and 2mm and 3mm hooks, for the smaller ones I used finer crochet cottons and my 1.5mm hook. Working with the finer hook and thread is quite tricky I find. The most difficult part of the rose pattern is explaining how to do the internal petals, so I will share the easier first two rounds here.
