Flowers from the Snowdrops Necklace

I designed this pattern 8 years ago. I have never shared it widely before, only 2 or 3 friends of mine know it. I always used it for earrings. Also you look at the 6 flowers in the center of the Snowdrops Necklace.

Prepare a long piece of thread or fishing line - the weaving must be stiff.
Each flower consists of 6 petals. All petals are made one by one with a single thread.
The picture below shows how to weave one petal. You may think it looks "unnaturally". Well, that's life :)
Pay attention to the step 6: when the petal is ready, pass through all beads that are positioned around the side and pull the thread a little. The weaving becomes convex.
Step 7 means you have to tie a knot using two ends of thread that come from between 2 yellow beads. Then pass the thread through the yellow bead and start weaving the next petal, beginning from the step 1.

When you have all 6 petals ready on the thread, weave the thread through all 12 yellow beads and loop them into the circle. Stitch a beaded ball into the center of the flower.
