Crochet Flower Hair Ties
Materials
- Four ply yarn
- Four millimeter crochet hook
- Hair tie
- Yarn needle or a very tiny crochet hook
- Bead for the center of the flower
Pattern
Making the Flower Base
Start with a Slipknot: Create a slipknot on your crochet hook.
- Chain 4: Make four chain stitches.
- Join to Form a Ring: Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1: Into the ring, make six single crochets. Make sure to insert your hook into the center of the ring, not into any stitches.
- Close the Round: Slip stitch on top of the first single crochet to join. Be aware this will create a fake stitch.
Making the Puff Stitch Petals
Round 2 (Petal Start): Chain 2 to start. Then, in the same first stitch, make a puff stitch:
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, and pull up a long loop (to the height of the chain 2).
- Repeat five more times, so you have a total of 13 loops on your hook.
Pull through all 13 loops.
- Chain 3: After the puff stitch, chain 3.
- Slip Stitch: Locate the next single crochet, make a tight slip stitch into it.
- Repeat Petal Pattern: Chain 2, and in the same space, make another puff stitch in the same manner.
Continue this process to create a total of 6 petals:
Chain 2, puff stitch in the next stitch, chain 3, and slip stitch into the next single crochet. Repeat four more times.
Finishing the Flower
- Secure the Flower: After you've made the last puff stitch and chain 3, slip stitch into the fake stitch created by an earlier slip stitch to close the round.
- Cut the Yarn and Pull Through: Snip your yarn, leaving a tail, and pull it through the loop on your hook.
Adding the Center Bead and Attaching to Hair Tie
- Sew on the Bead: Use a yarn needle or a tiny crochet hook to attach a bead to the center of the flower, sewing it in place with the yarn tail. First, bring the yarn tail to the back of the flower, then thread the bead, positioning it in the center. Secure the bead and hide the tail by weaving it back through the base of a petal.
Attach Flower to Hair Tie:
- Using the remaining yarn tail, chain 3-4 (depending on the width of your hair tie).
- Slide the hair tie under the chains.
- Use the tail to make a slip stitch on the opposite side of the flower to secure it to the hair tie, then fasten off and weave in the end.
Adjusting the Petals
- Puff Up the Petals: To make the petals puffier, gently push them from the back while simultaneously pulling the chains attaching the flower to the hair tie. Repeat for all petals to achieve a full, puffy look.
And there you have it! A cute, puff stitch flower hair tie. The project is a fantastic way to use up yarn scraps, and these flowers can add a lovely touch when gifted or brighten up your spring and summer accessories. Enjoy your crafting!
