Instructions
Ring Band

Flower Appliqué
- Creating the Flower: Using your chosen pastel yarn, create a MR.
- Forming Petals: Chain 3, then dc 2, ch 2, and sl st into the ring; repeat these steps until the flower has 5 petals.
- Center Detail: Add an additional layer with a contrasting color in the center of the flower using sc or hdc for a textured look.
Leaf Detail
- Making Leaves: To create simple leaves, ch 5, then sc in the second ch from the hook, hdc in the next, and dc in the last; sl st to close.
- Attach Leaves: Create two leaves or more, depending on your design, and attach them securely to the base of the flower.
Attaching Flower to Band
- Positioning the Flower: Place the completed flower on top of the ring band to find the perfect placement.
- Secure Attachment: Using your yarn needle, sew the flower onto the band, ensuring it is tightly connected for durability.
- Leaf Placement: Attach the leaves within the flower arrangement, either directly sewn or glued, to maintain symmetry.
Sizing Adjustment
- Adjust to Fit: If your ring is too loose or tight, gently adjust the band by pulling on the tail. You can also add additional rows or decrease the foundation chain if needed.
- Testing Fit: It’s helpful to try on your ring periodically as you work to ensure a perfect size.
Tips for the Best Result
- Maintaining a consistent tension throughout your work helps the ring retain its shape.
- Using a stitch marker can aid in tracking your stitches, especially if you are new to crochet.
- Consider customizing your flower colors and adding embellishments like beads for a personal touch.
