Phewwww...I've made myself a crochet bullion flower! Thanks for this tutorial, Teresa!

[tjw1963]

@aa4248 I am happy it turned out! This can be a challenging stitch

[Fiara]

Just finished making mine! Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I tried to do it with the tapestry needle attached to it but I found it much, much easier without it. It took me a lot longer though. But I'm certainly gonna make more of these and maybe sew them onto a crochet purse!

[MsSassySean]

Thank you so much. This is an excellent tutorial! I love the way you slow it down. That is awesome. You show the entire flower!!

what kind of needle is?

[loulou3831]

fabulous

[UsagiGirl89]

Hello, could you tell me what you use to attach the tapestry needle the crochet needle?

[tjw1963]

I used plastic tubing that is about the same size as the hook. You can also use pencil grips to hold the needle in place.

[CourtneysAuntSara]

OMG I love the needle(?) on the hook I qam doing a sample stich afghan and with some of the stiches my hook gets stuck in the middle of the stich. I have to try this method. Thanks

[Darina1000]

I made it without that additional thing on the hook. Although because of the type of yarn that I used you can't really tell the shape ): I should look for a better kind of yarn for this flower because it is great (:

[Pigirl78]

Thank you very much, I can't wait to get home and try this awsome stitch.....

(I'm at work at this time).

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[sheilascrafts]

Can you do this pattern without a tapestry needle?

[tjw1963]

You can try.

[starfam1ly]

That was very helpful. Thanks. :D

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[scizessita]

Well, you little scamp! How did you figure out such a great way to make those horribly frustrating bullion stitches?!!!

Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I especially love how you ran the trickiest parts of the twists and turns in slow motion to make the motions easier to see.

[tjw1963]

Thank you. I tried this stitch many years ago and never could get it so I tried various ways to make it work.

[montrealstars60]

Very original way to make flowers. Would you add these flowers on scarves? I have this thing for scarves. I've made a few, but you can never have too many. I think I will start giving them as gifts, nice idea for a Xmas gift... Hugs, Louisa

[tjw1963]

You can use them on a scarf. Hats, handbag or granny square.

[JanREBEL]

Brillant, you go girl....I love this flower. Will try making some as soon as I hook my needle up....thanks again for your videos.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

I attached a doll needle to my hook with masking tape, and managed some great looking bullion stitches. Thanks so much for the tips! Then I showed mum your video and showed her the hook...and I haven't seen my bullion hook since! She went home and made four of your flowers tonight (mum's been crocheting for years, but never had attempted a bullion before).

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :) You might need to make another hook if you don't get it back soon.

[Rockchelles]

Thank you for the post. I just started crocheting bikini tops and now want to add beads and designs in the strap parts to get them to stand out and sell more. This is also great idea inside elegant scarfs.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[slimjleo1955]

where can you get the tapersitry hook with needle

[tjw1963]

You have to purchase a tapestry needle and attach it to you crochet hook. You can purchase it from wal-mart or any craft store. You can also purchase them online.

[sheilascrafts]

I love that. Do you have to have that type of crochet hook to make that pattern stitch?

[tjw1963]

That is just something I came up with to make it work otherwise it is difficult. There are supposed to be bullion stitch crochet hooks for sale but I have never seen one.

[tiger10526]

i love this stitch. i didn't even know it was possible. i'll use it for a hat i'm making.

[tjw1963]

Thank you. It is difficult just wrapping it around the hook so I worked on a way to make it successful.

[SilkyPurr]

I have been watching your videos and trying out most of the patterns and everytime you amaze me. Im new to the crochet world so every vid you have done has helped in a huge way.  You are truely a Crochet Goddess! ty and keep posting!

[OuijaGurl]

i luved this the tapestry needle is an amazing idea cos i always had trouble with this stitch

[tjw1963]

I did to, so I came up with the idea after someone asked me about the stitch a few weeks ago.
