Beautiful 3D Crochet Flower Tutorial

I truly have no idea who to credit for this as my pinterest link from a decade ago is entirely broken. I had to rediscover how it was done on my own since I couldn't find a similar pattern (maybe I didn't look hard enough). If you know who to credit, let me know!
I may write the pattern out for y'all if we can't source it, and if I do, I'll link that here for y'all. Let me know in the comments if you know where this pattern comes from!
This flower would be a perfect accessory for headbands, hats, or more! I love that the hole in the middle means you can make this a button-on accessory!
Thanks for watching!

Love all of your videos! I’ve been working on making all of them lol. Is there any way to add variegation to the leaves? Would painting them on be a good idea??

Other than using a variegated yarn, you could always just "embroider" with different colored yarns. I never tried painting on crochet (yet)
