Needed Materials

Size 5.0 mm  - 5.5 mm or J Size Hook

Bernat Super Value Yarn, 4 Ply Worsted Yarn

Picture has two yarns mixed together. Bernat Super Value and no name Glitter yarn to add some sparkle. You don't need to mix two yarns together but I did this to give the flower an extra shimmering look. Changing yarn thickness and types of yarn will affect this pattern. Thicker yarns will make this flower super huge and thinner will make mini sizes of this flower. There is no wrong answer, decide what works for you. 

You can also change colour in each rotation but should note that the inside colours of the flower don't really get a lot of opportunity to be shown. The last two revolutions is what you will primarily see.
