When looking for a great flower for the Mother and Daughter hats I made a few weeks ago, I really couldn’t find one I wanted. I ran across this one by Lucy over at Attic 24 and it was kinda~sorta what I was looking for, but not quite. So I altered it a bit. Then when I made some ear warmers last week (pattern to come) I changed it up again and finally ended up with the look I wanted. So here it is!
Yarn:
Just about any works! Just use the hook to match. This sample was made with Vanna’s Choice.
Hook:
Sample was made with 4.5mm (US7) hook, but use the size hook that works with the yarn you choose.
Other Notions:
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Stitches and Abbreviations used:
sl st ~ slip stitch
ch ~ chain
sc ~ single crochet
hdc ~ half double crochet
dc ~ double crochet
tc ~ treble crochet
rnd ~ round
beg ~ beginning
sp ~ space
Start with a magic circle, or ch3 and sl st to join together into a ring
Rnd 1: ch3 (counts as first dc) 13dc into ring, sl st to top of beg ch3, pull tight
Rnd 2: * work entire rnd in front loop only of top of rnd 1* sl st into next st with second color,** (hdc, 2dc, hdcc) in next st, sl st in ext st, rep from ** 6 more times (7 petals made), sl st into same st as first sl st
Rnd 3: *work entire rnd in back loop only of top of rnd 1 * sl st into back loop of same st (the one that rnd 2 ended in) with first color ch 1, (2sc in next st, sc in nest st) 7 times (21 sc), sl st to top of first sc
Rnd 4: * (hdc, dc, tc) in next st, (dc, tc) in next st, sl st in next st rep from * 6 more times, omitting last sl st
Rnd 5: with second color * sc over sl st, sc in back loop only of next 5 sts, rep from * 6 more times, sl st to first sc
Clip yarns, end off, weave in ends or leave them free to tie flower onto a hat, ear warmers, or whatever else makes you smile.
