Tip: Before you start work on last petal, work beginning loses ends in.

 Do not fasten off after last (fifth) petal is done.

Continue work dawn the side of petal: decrease 2 (each side of petal = 3 SC), and decrease 3SC on wide side of petal.

Black centre:

Into magic ring: 7 SC

Work as regular circle (inc regularly in each row), when is circle big enough to cover centre of red part of flower, fasten off. Join yellow. DO not increase, just SC around back loops only, then add crab ST (working backwards) add edging. Fasten off. Sew it on.

For a decoration on petals use Pearle embroidery floss, omit all around. It will give a slightly 3D effect to the flower.

Opening for ear set:

Fold it in the middle and find exact spot. Simply stretch  stitches, and sew it over using blanket embroidery stitches ( like you working on button hole). Work ends, cut off remaining yarn.

Fold it and sew or crochet it together (long sides only). Flip it over.
