Hook
Tapestry Needle

This flower curls right around like a curly cue. You can make it as full/long as you want to while using any combination of petals.

Make a chain of 31.

Row 1: work a single crochet in the second chain from the hook, chain 2, skip 1 chain, work a single crochet in the next chain. Continue across. This is not a project that has to be precise. If you end up with an extra chain at the end, go head and make the last chain 2 and single crochet right next to the last single crochet. With this chain amount you will have about 15 chain 2 loops.

There is a variety of ways to make the petals. You can make your petals all the same or make them all different.

Petal 1: CH 1, 4 HDC, CH 1 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 2: CH 1, 6 HDC, CH 1 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 3: CH 1, 5 DC, CH 1 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 4: CH 2, 5 DC, CH 2 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 5: CH 1, 3 DC, SC, 3 DC CH 1 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 6: CH 2, 5 TC, CH 2 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Petal 7: CH 2, 3 TC, HDC, 3 TC, CH 2 SL ST. All in the same chain loop.

Upon completion, you will cut off a long tail. Wind the flower around and shape it how you want it to look. Weave the needle through the stitches and push it to the opposite side going through all layers of the flower. Repeat this several times for a secure flower. Knot the tail and hide it when all layers are secure. Crochet Blog - http://www.crochetgeek.com/

Love this flower! Great tutorial. Two questions though. Without your guidance, I wasn't sure what to do in the last two spots. I just did the same as the previous. Is that ok?

Also, is it possible to make this smaller? Chain less than 31 to start? Thank you so much. I love all your tutorials!

[Crochet Geek]

Yes, you can start off with a smaller chain. Are you talking about your last two chains?

[mimi mardiyah]

can i sell the product that i have made from this tutorial

[Crochet Geek]

You are welcome to do as you please with the finished work.

[mesha051983]

so far im doing good....i think you have to get your basics down first

[Crochet Geek]

Good to hear you are catching on.  This is a good project to practice different size stitches and will help with the basics. I do have a beginner playlist with slow motion if you are interested.

Thank you so much for taking the time to record all of these helpful videos. I'm just beginning to knit and crochet and I've searched through lots of YouTube videos but yours are all so great. You take your time and your video is very well done. I can follow along with you and the results are great. I made this flower the other night for a hat I knitted on a loom. I can't wait to see it on my granddaughter. Thank you again for all of your hard work. I'll be watching your other videos.

you are going wayyyy to fast please do it slower next time

[Jessica Rothemund]

Not really happy with how this turned out, and also really disappointed that you went into such detailed description all the way through only to leave me with no guidance for my last two petals!

[mssoftpink]

thanks a lot for the beautiful pattern, it's a lively flower. It's home is on my daughter's hair band. It was fun to make.

I'd add a pic but don't know how yet.

[Kelly Cremonte]

Yea, the last two.

What should my chain be to make it smaller? Sorry, I am new at this!

Thank you!

[Hhacklemesh]

Love it, thanks so much, made my first one and attached it to my second ever headband. SOOO cute! Wearing it to work tomorrow. Is there a way to just post a picture and not a video so I can share my creation?
