Very easy Tunisian technique flower motif making
Creating a simple Tunisian crochet flower motif is a lovely and straightforward project. Tunisian crochet, also known as Afghan crochet, is a combination of crochet and knitting techniques. Here’s a step-by-step guide for making an easy Tunisian crochet flower motif:
Materials you’ll need:
- Tunisian crochet hook.
- Worsted weight yarn in multiple colors of your choice.
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
Instructions for a Tunisian Crochet Flower Motif:
Foundation:
- Start with a slip knot and chain 5.
Round 1:
2. Insert your Tunisian crochet hook into the second chain from the hook (the loop on the hook doesn’t count) and pull up a loop. Continue this across all the chains, so you have a total of 5 loops on your hook.
- Now, work a return pass: Yarn over and pull through the first loop on your hook, then yarn over and pull through two loops at a time until only one loop remains on the hook.
Round 2:
4. Ch 1, yarn over, insert your hook under the vertical bar of the first stitch, pull up a loop. Repeat from * to * five times, so you have 6 loops on your hook.
- Work a return pass the same way as in Round 1: Yarn over, pull through the first loop, and then pull through two loops at a time until you have one loop left.
Round 3:
6. Ch 1, yarn over, insert your hook under the vertical bar of the first stitch, pull up a loop. Repeat from * to * five times to have 6 loops on your hook.
- Work a return pass as before.
Round 4:
8. Ch 1, yarn over, insert your hook under the vertical bar of the first stitch, pull up a loop. Repeat from * to * five times to have 6 loops on your hook.
- Work a return pass as before.
Finishing:
10. Fasten off and leave a tail for weaving in the ends.
- To create a flower, make multiple motifs in various colors and join them at the center using a different yarn color.
You can experiment with different yarn colors, sizes of motifs, and joining techniques to create beautiful, colorful flowers with your Tunisian crochet flower motifs. This technique is easy to adapt for larger or smaller flowers, making it a versatile and fun project.
