Materials You’ll Need
- Yarn of your choice (in colors suitable for flowers)
- Crochet hook (size depends on the desired flower size)
- Scissors
Step 1: Starting the Flower
To begin, make a slip knot with your chosen yarn and secure it onto the crochet hook. Then, chain a multiple of seven stitches, adding one more chain as turning chain. This will serve as the foundation for your first row of petals.
Step 2: Creating the Petals
For each petal, yarn over and insert the crochet hook into the fourth chain from the hook. Next, make a double crochet stitch (yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through two remaining loops). Then, make two more double crochet stitches in the same chain.
Now, skip the next three chains and slip stitch into the fourth chain. This creates the first petal. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the foundation chain.
Step 3: Forming the Flower Shape
To form the flower shape, join the last petal to the first petal with a slip stitch. This completes one round of petals. To continue, chain three as a turning chain and repeat Step 2 for the next round.
You can create as many rounds of petals as desired to achieve your desired flower size. Remember to join each round with a slip stitch to maintain the flower shape.
Step 4: Finishing Off
Once you have reached your desired flower size, fasten off the yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of a few inches. Pull the tail through the loop on the hook and tighten to secure the end. Weave in any remaining loose ends with a yarn needle.
