Stigma
Start: using A and 1.25mm hook, make 3ch, join with sl st into a ring
R1: make 6 sc in ring, join with sl st, 1ch
R2: (1sc, 1sc)x6 = 12sc, join with sl st, 1ch
R3: 12sc, join with sl st, 1ch; R4: same
R5: (1sc, skip 1sc)x6 = 6sc, join with sl st, 1ch
R6: (1sc, skip 1sc)x3 = 3sc, skip 1sc, 1sc (in round); do not cut thread, continue with the stamens.
Stamens
R1: make 2ch, and 8sc in the 2nd ch from hook, join with sl st, 1ch
R2: (1sc, 6ch, 1 small Clones knot, 5sl st to return to ring, 1sc)x8. Change to B and finish off A.
Petals base
R1: (RS) using B make (1ch, 1sc in between the stamens working behind them loosely)x2 = 16st, join with sl st
R2: (RS) change to 2.5mm hook, make 16sc, join with sl st, 2ch
R3: (RS) (1sc, 1sc, 2sc)x5, 2sc, 2sc = 24st, join with sl st. Change to C and finish off B.
Petals (6pcs.)

I am really impressed with the likeness of this pattern to the photograph. It is so close to realistic and yet so simple to do. Thank you both for your talents and sharing them with us. B.
you’re welcome, Barbra. Come back, again.

I do not seem to understand the following directions:
Petals base
R1: (RS) using B make (1ch, 1sc in between the sepals working behind them loosely)x2 = 16st, join with sl st
Can you possibly explain in more detail?
Thank you!
Hi Nancy,
I called sepals what was supposed to be stamens - sorry about that, I’ve made the change in the instructions. I’ve also changed the no. of sc in the first row of the Stamens from 6sc to 8sc as follows:
Stamens
R1: make 2ch, and 8sc in the 2nd ch from hook, join with sl st, 1ch
This row, when joining with slip st will create a ring on which the the Petal base will be further executed. After finishing the stamens, there will be 8sc in the ring and 8 sts that lead to the stamens. Change to pink and work 16sts (1ch which goes behind the stamen and 1sc in the sc in the ring). Next step, R2 is to change to the bigger hook and make the 16sc in pink.
I hope it will be easier to follow this time.
Cheers,
Camelia
Thank you very much and, yes, your new instructions and explanation helped enormously! Now I can continue to crochet your beautiful Anemone with no problem…
This is so so beautiful. I love this blog. I just found it a moment ago through another blog I love so much. I have been learning how to make many different kinds of flowers through crochet. I am very much in love with this flower project of yours. They are all so very beautiful.
