Double cast-on six-petal flower

To make this double cast-on six-petal flower I've used Anchor pearl cotton no:8 thread.Please follow these instructions:

1.Divide a 1.75cm circle into six.
2.On the cloth, mark the mid-point and the six points on the circle.
3.Thread the needle, meet the 2 ends of thread and make a knot.
4.Bring out the needle at mid-point, pull through.
5.Go down at one of the points on the circle and bring it up at the mid-point or at a point close to it.Don't pull through.
6.Follow the instructions on how to make double cast-on stitch (I needed six loops to make a petal).
7.Continue with the other petals.
