Step-by-Step Pattern
Petals
Foundation Chain
- Start with a slip knot.
- Ch 39. (This creates the foundation chain for the petals).
- Tip: Ensure your foundation chain is even and not too tight.
Petal Row 1
- Insert 1dc into the fifth chain from the hook.
- Work another dc into the same stitch (2dc in one stitch).
- Skip 2 stitches, then insert 2dc into the next stitch.
- Repeat the sequence: (2dc in one stitch, skip 2) until the end of the row.
- Once complete, you’ve finished the first row of petal bases.
Petal Row 2
- Ch 3 (this acts as the turning chain).
- Work 1dc into the gap between each pair of 2dc from the first row.
- Ch 2, then insert 2dc into the next gap.
- Repeat the sequence: (ch 2, 2dc into the gap) until the end, working 1dc into the final gap.
- You have now completed the second row of the petals.
Petal Row 3 (Shaping the Petals)
- In the first gap, work 8dc.
- In the next gap, insert 1sc.
- Repeat the sequence: (8dc in one gap, 1sc in the next) until the end.
- In the last gap, work 13dc to shape the outermost petal.
- Sl st into the very first stitch to close the row.
- Ch 1 and cast off.
Sepal
Starting the Sepal
- Use 5-ply green yarn and the same 4.5mm hook.
- Create a magic ring.
- Ch 2, then insert 19dc into the magic ring.
- Pull the yarn tail tight to close the magic ring.
- Sl st to the first stitch to complete the round.
Shaping Sepal Points
- Ch 2, then work 3dc into one stitch.
- Turn, then ch 2 and work 2dc at the start.
- Turn again, and ch 2*, inserting 1dc, then ch 1.
- Cast off to finish one sepal point.
- Repeat these steps 4 more times to create 5 total sepal points.
- When all points are complete, secure the end with a sl st.
Assembly
- Wrap a bamboo stick (about 30cm) with green yarn to create the stem.
- Sew the sepals to the flower, ensuring they cover the base of the petals.
- Attach the flower to the stem using the green wrapping yarn. Secure tightly and neatly.
- Adjust petals to create a symmetrical and complete flower look.
Pattern Correction
If you find your magic ring gap loose, ensure you pull the yarn tail firmly before continuing with stitches.
Customization Ideas
- Use different colors for petals to mimic other flowers (e.g., yellow for sunflowers or white for daisies).
- Add beads or small pearls at the center of the flower for extra detail.
- Make a bouquet by creating multiple flowers and binding the stems together.
Tips
- Like in the tutorial, slow down and work with relaxed tension to prevent stitches from becoming too tight.
- Pre-cut your yarn pieces for assembly to save time and reduce tangling.
