How to crochet a little flower for decoration

First petal: With red, ch 3, dc in the first chain, ch 2, sl st in the first ch (see diagram below).

Make 4 more petals: (ch 2, dc in the first ch, ch 2, sl st in the first ch) 4 times*. Leave long end for sewing, fasten off.
*Only the first of those four petals is in the diagram: they are all the same.

I hope this makes the flower easier to make.
