Cast on an initial chain of 40 air stitches + 3 air stitches for lifting. In the 1st row, crochet through every other chain stitch, making 2 double crochets in the next stitch, separated by one air stitch. Start the 2nd row with 3 air stitches for lifting, make 2 double crochets in each arch between the columns, followed by 3 air stitches and 2 double crochets. 3rd row: 3 air stitches for lifting, make a fan of 3 double crochets in each arch between the columns. After finishing the row, secure and cut the thread. From the knitted ribbon-spiral, you can already form a flower, but first, you need to decorate it with a beautiful edging. Attach a thread of a different color to the beginning of the row and crochet a slip stitch and an air stitch at the edge from each stitch. The edging with slip stitches alternating with air stitches makes the edge decorative and a bit wavy. After making the edging, twist the knitted ribbon into a spiral, forming a flower, and sew its base at the bottom, thus securing its shape.
