Pelargonium flower

This is the pattern for the flower on my favorite hat. It's from Lesley's Stanfield book "100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet" It's really simple and quick to make.

So choose whatever color you want and start by making 6 chain stitches (ch).
Skip 5ch
Do 3 double treble stitches (dtr) in the next ch
5ch
the slip stich (ss) in the first ch of the 6ch.
And repeat 5 times (for five petals) until you join the petal into a ring by ss the into the very first stitch of the first 6ch.

Here are simplified directions:
[6ch, skip 5ch, 3dtr in next chain, 5ch, ss in first of 6ch] 5x, join into ring

I like to close the ring a little tight and leave the yarn ends long to tie or weave into whatever I'm using them for.
If you have any questions, post it in a comment!
