Materials:
- Light Fingering Yarn (Fibre Milk recommended)
- 4mm Crochet Hook
Pattern Instructions:
Starting the Center:
Ring Creation:
- Make a magic ring.
Round 1:
- Make 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Then, pull the ring closed.
- Slip stitch (sl st) into the first single crochet to join the round.
Building the Flower Bed:
Round 2 (Increase Round):
- Chain 1 (ch 1). In this round, you will make 2 single crochets in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
Round 3 (Pattern Repeat Begins):
- Ch 1. Make 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then make 2 single crochets in the following stitch (increase). Repeat - around for a total of 18 stitches. Join with a sl st.
After Round 4:
- Ch 1. Make 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, then increase by making 2 single crochets in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern around. You will have a total of 24 stitches.
Round 5:
- Ch 1. Continuing the pattern, make 3 single crochets, followed by an increase. By the end of this round, you'll have 30 stitches.
Round 6:
- Ch 1. This round follows the pattern: make 4 single crochets, then an increase. You will have 36 stitches when you finish.
In Round 7:
- Ch 1. The pattern extends: 5 single crochets and then an increase, leading to a total of 42 stitches.
Round 8:
- Ch 1. Follow the pattern by making 6 single crochets, then an increase, resulting in 48 stitches in total.
Creating the Flower Edges:
Round 9 (Petal Formation Begins):
- Slip stitch into the first stitch of the previous round, then chain 4. This counts as your first double crochet and chain-1 space. Make a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip 3 stitches, then in the next stitch (4th), make a double crochet, chain 1, and another double crochet. Repeat - around. Join with a slip stitch to the initial chain space.
Finishing Touches:
Leaves:
- Using green yarn, attach it to any of the spaces between the 'petals' created in the last round. Chain 4, then double crochet into the same space. Repeat this around each space between petals to create leaves.
Flower Creation:
- Switch to the flower color. Insert your hook into any space between petals, chain 3, and make 2 double crochets in the same space. Chain 1, then make 3 double crochets in the next space. Repeat around.
Final Edges:
- For the last rows, create a pattern that simulates the flower's edges and leaves at your discretion, following a similar increase pattern and stitch style as previously done.
Finishing:
- Secure and weave in all tails. To complete the look, you might need to create more rows depending on the desired size and finish of your flower bed.
Optional Chain Loop:
- For a hanging loop or to join multiple flowers, chain a length as desired, slip your hook into a part of the flower where you wish to attach the loop, and secure it with a slip stitch.
