Perfect! Learn How to Make a Very Easy Crochet Flower
Creating a crochet flower is a fun and simple project, perfect for beginners. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making a basic crochet flower:
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Any color you like. Worsted weight yarn is a good choice for beginners.
- Crochet Hook: Size appropriate for your yarn, typically H/8 (5 mm) for worsted weight yarn.
- Scissors
- Yarn needle: For weaving in the ends.
Abbreviations:
- ch: Chain
- sl st: Slip stitch
- sc: Single crochet
- dc: Double crochet
- st: Stitch
Steps:
1. Make a Slip Knot:
- Create a loop with your yarn, insert the hook, and pull the yarn through the loop to create a slip knot.
2. Chain 4:
- Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook 4 times. This will create a small chain.
3. Form a Ring:
- Insert the hook into the first chain (the one closest to the slip knot).
- Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to create a slip stitch. Now you have a small ring.
4. Round 1: Creating the Center of the Flower:
- Ch 3 (this counts as the first dc).
- Into the center of the ring, work 11 dc.
- Join with a sl st into the top of the first ch 3.
You should now have a small circle with 12 stitches (1 ch-3 + 11 dc).
5. Round 2: Creating the Petals:
- Ch 2, then in the same stitch, work 3 dc.
- Ch 2 and sl st into the next stitch. This forms one petal.
- Repeat this process around the circle: (sl st into the next stitch, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st into the next stitch). Repeat 5 more times, until you have 6 petals.
- Join with a sl st into the base of the first ch 2.
6. Finish the Flower:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in.
- Pull the yarn through the loop on the hook to secure it.
- Use the yarn needle to weave in the ends.
