Step-by-Step Detailed Crochet Instructions
Base Preparation (Foundation Chain and First Round)
- Make a Slip Knot:
- Wrap yarn around your pinky finger, pull it through using your hook, and tighten to form a slip knot.
- Foundation Chain:
- Chain 32 stitches. Each "V”-shaped loop counts as a stitch.
- Start Double Crochet (dc):
- Yarn over and count back three stitches from your hook. Insert the hook into the back bump of the third chain. Pull yarn through, yarn over again, and pull through two loops twice to complete the first dc. (Tip: Mark this stitch with a stitch marker.)
- Remaining Stitches:
- Double crochet into each back bump of the chain across, completing a total of 30 dc stitches. Use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch.
- To turn, chain 3.
Petals Construction
- Large Petals (Make 10 total):
- First Part: Yarn over twice and treble crochet (tr) 3 times into the first marked stitch. Make a pico stitch: Chain 1, then sl st into the “H” shape at the base.
- Second Part: Move to the next stitch, treble crochet 2 times, then chain 3 and sl st into the same stitch.
- Repeat the steps for large petals across the row to create a total of 10 petals.
- Small Petals (Make 3 total):
- First Part: Yarn over twice, treble crochet once into the next stitch, chain 1, and make a pico stitch.
- Second Part: Move to the next stitch, treble crochet once, then chain 3 and sl st into the same stitch.
- Repeat the steps until 3 small petals are formed.
- Ensure 4 stitches remain after completing the small petals.
Final Rounds (Shaping and Securing)
- Double Crochet Across:
- In the remaining 4 stitches, double crochet once into each stitch. Finish this section with a chain 2 to turn, then a slip stitch into the last stitch.
- Finish Off:
- Leave a long tail when cutting the yarn. Pull the yarn end out to secure the final stitch.
Assembly
- Shaping the Flower:
- Begin rolling the flower from one end to form a spiral. Make sure the petals are evenly aligned. Adjust any uneven petals during this process.
- Sewing:
- Thread the yarn tail onto a sewing needle. Secure the flower by sewing from the center of the roll outward.
- Continue to sew across the petals and tie the yarn securely.
- Final Finishing Touch:
- Hide and trim any remaining yarn ends. Optionally, sew through the center and tie a knot in the front for extra detail.
Finishing Tips
- Pull the petals gently while sewing to maintain the flower's natural shape.
- Work neatly on the back to ensure a smooth and clean finish for applications.
- Experiment with alternative techniques like adding beads for a decorative center.
