How to Crochet a Flower

Supplies

• Yarn if two different colors – medium or medium-light weight
• Crochet hook – 2.5 mm
• Tapestry needle (a needle with a large eye hook that will accommodate yarn)
• Scissors

Directions

Step 1

Start with the yarn color you want to be in the center of the flower. Start with a slip knot and then do 5 chain stitches (CH).

Step 2

Form a ring with the 5 chain stitches by working a slip stitch through the first chain stitch.

Step 3

Make 1 chain. Then do 10 to 12 single crochet (SC) through the ring.

The number of single crochet around the ring will be the number of petals that you will have on the crochet flower.

Finish the single crochet round with a slip stitch through the initial stitch of the yellow round.

Pull out an inch of the yarn on the hook and then cut off the yarn from the bundle. Draw the extra open end of the yarn to the backside.

Step 4

Now choose your petal yarn. Make a slip knot. Draw the hook through the top of any of the stitches of the SC round (the yellow center of the flower). 

Step 5 

Pull out the slip knot through the center pattern’s stitch and then work 1 chain.

Step 6

Work 10 more chain stitches. Each petal is going to have 10 chain stitches.

Step 7

Now, pull the yarn through the next stitch of the ring.

Step 8

Work 10 chain stitches again for the second flower petal, in the same way as above.

Keep making all of the petals by repeating 10 CH and then pulling the 10^th stitch through the next stitch of the ring. 

Step 9

When you get next to the first petal, work a slip stitch through the first petal’s ring stitch. Pull out 2 inches of the yarn.

Cut off yarn from the bundle, but be sure to keep the extra 2 inches.

Step 10

Using a tapestry needle, stitch the extra 2 inches of yarn on the backside of the flower pattern.

You will also want to stitch the extra 1 inch piece of yarn from then yellow center to keep it from unraveling.
