How to crochet flower stamens using single crochet (SC)

1. Start with a Magic Ring:

   • Make a loop with the yarn and pull the yarn through to create a Magic Ring. This allows you to tighten the ring later.

2. Chain 1 (Knot):

   • Chain 1 to create a knot.

3. Single Crochet into the Magic Ring:

   • Insert your hook into the Magic Ring and make 1 single crochet (SC). Repeat this step around 8 times to form a small circle inside the ring.

4. Tighten the Ring:

   • Once you've made the desired number of single crochets, pull the tail of the Magic Ring tightly to close the circle.

5. Finish:

   • Cut off any excess yarn. Pull the yarn through the last loop, and then use a needle to go through the first single crochet stitch to add a stitch. Tie a knot to secure it and weave in any remaining loose ends.

This process will create the stamen for your crocheted flower!
