Step-by-Step Instructions
Creating the Flower Petal
- Start with the Magic Ring:
- Begin by forming a magic ring.
- Crochet 10 single crochets into the magic ring. Ensure that the first stitch is not counted as single crochet.
- Close the magic ring with a slip stitch through the first space.
- Round 2 (Double Crochet Increase):
- Chain 2 to begin the round (do not count the chains as a stitch).
- Work 10 double crochet increases:
- For each stitch, crochet 2 double crochets.
- Slip stitch to close the round.
- Round 3 to Round 5:
- Round 3: Chain 1 and repeat the pattern: one single crochet per space followed by an increase.
- Rounds 4 and 5: Follow a similar pattern but increase gradually as shown in the tutorial.
- Round 6:
- Chain 2. Work six half double crochets, followed by one half double crochet increase in the next space.
- Continue alternating three half double crochets and one increase (repeat twice).
- Close the round with a slip stitch.
- Round 7:
- Work seven double crochets into seven spaces.
- Begin double crochet increases with a repeat of 16 times across the round.
- Starting in the next space:
- Crochet one triple crochet, followed by four chains. Work slip stitches in 3 spaces for shaping.
- Complete the petal by alternating double crochet increases until the end of the round.
- Finish the Flower Petal:
- Cut the yarn and pull the tail to fasten off.
Working the Flower Base (Toral)
- Switch to Green Yarn:
- Start from the second space of the petal, and chain 2 (not counted as a stitch).
- Work four half double crochets in the next four spaces.
- Chain 2 and turn your work.
- Second Row:
- Skip the first space, and work five half double crochets across the row.
- Hide the yarn tail as you go.
Creating the Flower Hat
- Form a magic ring again with green yarn.
- Work six single crochets into the circle.
- From Round 2 to Round 10:
- Work one single crochet per space in a continuous spiral.
- At the end, turn the inside of the hat out and keep crocheting.
Making the Leaf
- Begin with 28 chains using green yarn.
- First Side:
- Start in the second chain from the hook:
- Crochet 2 single crochets, 2 half double crochets, and 20 double crochets.
- For the last three spaces, work one half double crochet and one single crochet in the first space, followed by three single crochets in the last space.
- Start in the second chain from the hook:
- Second Side:
- Turn to the other side and mirror the pattern:
- One half double crochet followed by 20 double crochets and the remaining single crochets.
- Slip stitch to close the round.
- Turn to the other side and mirror the pattern:
- Round 2:
- Insert craft wire to support the leaf structure.
