Crochet Flower Tutorial

Click pictures to enlarge, and don't look at my ugly, unmanicured, stay-at-home mother of three fingernails!

As promised this is my quick and easy flower tutorial. These make great hair pins or barrettes.

They could also be used to decorate gifts, to spiff up some ready to wear clothing, and baby booties. Let me know all the ways you could use them!

I used sport weight yarn and a size H hook. This pattern will work with lots of other hook and thread combinations, as shown above.

Chain 6.

Join with a slip stitch to beginning chain to form a "loop".

Chain 3.

Work triple crochet in main "loop", over yarn tail as shown, repeat three more times.

There will be four triple crochet in each petal. Single crochet, then start next petal.

Work five petals.

Slip stitch to beginning petal.

Now using the yarn tail that you have crochet to the loop, gently pull the center tight.

To finish off pull yarn to back of flower, cut, and tie to yarn tail using a square knot.
