Bullion Crochet Flower Tutorial

I love this stitch, it's so pretty and the flower is different than most crochet flowers. They are very pretty alone or stacked on top of one another.
You can click pics to enlarge.
Use a size 7 steel crochet hook, and size 1o cotton crochet thread. To start, chain 6.
Join with a slip stitch to beginning chain to make a loop.Chain 3.
Yarn over 7 times (wrap the base of hook).
Insert hook in loop, yarn over, draw through all loops on hook, repeat this stitch 11 more times. I find that it is easier to draw through all the loops by leaving pressure on the wrap with my index finger.
Join with slip stitch to beginning stitch. Chain 3.
Bullion stitch in same stitch as chain, *two bullions in next stitch,
1 bullion in next stitch. Repeat from *.
Join with slip stitch, and finish off.

This is so much fun once you get a hold of doing it, if you keep trying you eventually get it for sure. I love doing this cute flower for sure! Thank you for posting this for us all to use

This is wonderful. However, when you are doing the second row of bullions you don't say how many times we should repeat the instructions. I'm going to love doing these, I think.

I love this. But please email me some help. How do you get the different sizes? I like the layered idea but always come up with the same size flower. pbaca6@cox.net

I have crocheted for over 40 years but haven;t done much lately. I just lost my husband to cancer a couple of months ago and have picked back up my hooks to restore some sanity. After trying to wrap the hread around 7 imes and to keep it there has given me the biggest laugh I've had in 2 mos. I haven't done it yet, but I'll keep trying. At least I'm laughing instead of trying. Mnay thanks

I have crocheted for 45 years, but the last 2 years not so much. My husband just died of cancer two months ago. I have picked back up my hooks to give me some peace of mind. I saw your beautiful flower and I have to tell you, it was what I needed. I haven't laughed this much in years! I can't get it wrapped 7 timees and keep them there. Thank yo so much for a flower and a laugh. I will keep trying.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
