Materials Needed:
- Chunky Yarn (100g, 50m, 100% acrylic; Bernat yarn is suggested as an alternative)
- Crochet Hook suitable for chunky yarn
- Stitch Marker
- Yarn Needle
- Stuffing Material
Starting the Circle
Start:
- Chain 4. If you prefer, you could use a magic circle instead.
Form Circle:
- Join with a slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
Round 1 - Establishing the Base
Chain 2:
- This does not count as a stitch.
Half Double Crochets (HDC):
- Make 10 HDC into the circle. You may crochet over the tail end to tighten the circle later.
Close Round:
- Join with a slip stitch to the first HDC.
Round 2 - Increasing
Chain 2:
- This does not count as a stitch.
Increase:
- Make 2 HDC in each stitch around (20 stitches total).
Join:
- Slip stitch to the first HDC of the round.
Color Change and Pattern Variation
- At this point, you may choose to change yarn color. Cut your current yarn and join the new yarn with a slip stitch.
Round 3:
- Chain 2. In the pattern now, alternate between one HDC in the next stitch and 2 HDC in the following stitch, around. You will end up with 30 stitches.
Creating Petals
Form Petals:
- Each petal spans over 5 stitches.
- Start with a chain 2, then make 5 HDC (one into each of the next five stitches).
- Chain 2, turn your work. Then, create a decrease by crocheting two HDC together, make one HDC in the next stitch, and then another decrease (crocheting two HDC together).
- Chain 1 to secure and cut your yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
Assembly
Pair Creation:
- Repeat the petal creation process to make as many pairs as needed.
Joining:
- Place the wrong sides of a petal pair together. Using a yarn needle and a length of yarn, stitch around the edges to join. Before fully closed, stuff the petal.
Final Touches:
- Repeat the joining and stuffing process for all petals, then stitch them together at the base as needed to create your plush project.
Finishing:
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Adjust stuffing as needed to ensure even shaping.
