Instructions
Creating the Flowers
- Start with the blue yarn and form a magic ring (MR).
- Chain 2 (ch 2) for the first round.
- In the ring, crochet 5 double crochets (dc). Pull the yarn tail to close the ring.
- Slip stitch (sl st) into the first dc to join the round.
Adding the Petals
- For each petal, work as follows:
- Chain 3 (ch 3).
- In the next stitch, make a half double crochet (hdc).
- Continue with a single crochet (sc) into the same stitch.
- Repeat this process for each petal, creating a total of 5 petals around the flower.
Adding the Center
- Switch to yellow yarn and make a small circle.
- In the center of the flower, attach the yellow yarn to create a small center by using 6 single crochets (sc) and sl st to join.
Making the Stems
- Gather your green yarn for the stems.
- Chain 15 (ch 15) for each flower stem. Secure it with a slip stitch at the starting point.
Attaching Leaves
- To create leaves, use the green yarn and make a small leaf shape by chaining 8 (ch 8), then working back with sc and hdc until you reach the base. Attach the leaves to the flower stem using a tapestry needle.
Grouping Flowers
- Once you have several flowers completed, position them into a mini bouquet. Use additional green yarn to tie the stems together or add some decorative ribbon.
