How to crochet a flower step by step?
One of the handicrafts that tend to attract the attention of many women is that of the elaboration of woven flowers; especially those that are made with the crochet technique. For that reason, if you are interested in learning quickly how these beauties are made, we invite you to get involved with this step by step.
The materials to use:
- Angel thread approximately 4 mm thick.
- Double zero number crochet needle.
- Sewing scissors.
Elaboration:
- We will start by making a magic ring with our thread. To do this, we are going to wrap the thread around our index finger, from back to front, so that it is in an “X” shape.
- Now we will proceed to pass our crochet needle through this first strand, at the bottom, and we are going to pull this second half through the other to form a chain. In that simple way we already made our magic ring.
- Let’s start knitting 10 half stitches into our magic hoop. Once we have finished our ten half stitches, now we are going to pull this strand that we had from the beginning to proceed to close the hole in the center.
- Once we have done this, we are going to make a slip stitch in the first half crochet from the beginning and thus we finish the first row of our half crochets.
- Okay, now we are going to make two chains. These first two chains are going to count us as a double crochet. Now, in this same hole, we are going to make three double crochet. Since the first two chains will count as one more double crochet, four double crochet will be totaled.
- Now we are going to proceed to make two chains and at the bottom in our next hole, we will make a slip stitch. At the end of it, you can already see the outline of the first leaf of our flower.
- So, to make our next flower leaf, we are going to make two chains right here. Now, in the next hole, we are going to make another 3 double crochet again, another two chains and we finish by making our slip stitch in the next hole.
- In this simple way, each leaf of our flower is formed. Let’s repeat s again to make it clearer: We make two chains, we crochet 3 double crochet in the next hole, we make two chains and finally the slip stitch in the next hole.
- We will repeat the same procedure until we finish making the 5 petals of our flower. When the whole process of weaving the five petals of our flower is finished
- Now we only have to cut the thread that we have left in the needle, bring it forward and again it passes to the back; through the same hole. In this way, our 5-petal flower is finished.
- If you prefer to make a flower that is a little bigger (that has about six petals or seven petals) for example, you should consider that if for this one we made five petals; double half points had to be made. In other words, at the beginning we made ten half points. So, if it is required to make a flower that has six petals; Well, in this case the double would be 12 then. At the beginning they would have 12 half points and so on.
- Bottom line, if you intend to make a flower that is bigger, double half stitches should be done at the beginning of our magic hoop.
For the final finish, we only tie a knot to the different hebrit as that we have left, or we can also cut them or even; We can use them to sew our flower to the part where we are going to use it, either to decorate a shoe or to decorate a garment.
With this step by step you can have a crochet flower made by yourself and with an easy-to-learn pattern.
