Crochet Little Flower Stitch
Material Needed:
- Lightweight yarn (number 3)
- 5 mm crochet hook
- 6 mm crochet hook
Pattern Overview:
- Difficulty: Easy
- Pattern Type: 2-row repeat
- Project Suggestions: Great for blankets
- Yarn Type Used in Video: Lightweight yarn (number 3)
- Recommended Hook Sizes: 5mm for tighter spacing (original), 6mm for looser spacing (tutorial demonstration)
Setup:
Create a Slip Knot:
- Use your preferred method.
Start Chain:
- Chain an even number of stitches. For the tutorial example, chain 16.
Row 1: (Setup Row)
Begin:
- Single crochet into the second chain from the hook. (The loop on the hook is not counted.)
Pattern Repeat:
- Chain 1, skip 1 chain, single crochet in the next chain. Repeat from to across until 2 chains remain.
Finish:
- After the last repeat, chain 1, skip the penultimate chain, single crochet in the last chain.
Row 2: (Pattern Row)
Start:
- Chain 1 and turn your work.
First Cluster:
- Pull up a loop in the first single crochet, chain-1 space, and next single crochet, so you have 4 loops on the hook. Yarn over, pull through all 4 loops, chain 1.
Pattern Repeat:
- Repeat the steps to create clusters across the row. Always start the next cluster with the single crochet you ended the previous cluster with.
Finish:
- On reaching the end, instead of chaining 1 after the last cluster, do a single crochet in the last stitch to complete the row.
Returning to Row 1 Pattern:
Chain 1:
- turn your work. Your first single crochet goes directly below the chain. Chain 1.
Identify Smaller Gaps:
- Look for smaller gaps which are your chain-1 spaces from the previous row 1. Each single crochet in this row will go into these smaller gaps.
Continue Pattern:
- Skip the larger gaps and single crochet into the smaller ones. Chain 1, skip, and into the next small gap.
Finish:
- At the end of the row, instead of a chain 1 space, if it's difficult, go through the first loop of the clusters from the previous row for your last single crochet.
Repeat:
- Continue alternating between the pattern established in Row 1 and Row 2 for the desired length.
- Always end a Row 2 by returning into the same last single crochet to finish, which sets you up for Row 1.
