I had no idea what crochet pattern to create for this month, so I decided to see what you are all looking for. After a little bit of digging on the internet, I quickly discovered that "easy crochet projects for beginners" was one of the most popular searches. So, here we are!
This pattern for these simple crochet flowers is aimed at beginner crocheters. Once you have grasped the basic stitches, I think this is a great project to start with. These crochet flowers take about five minutes to make and they are so adorable!
First of all, you are not going to need any fancy equipment. Any yarn will do - I dug around and found two balls of DK yarn in white and yellow. You'll need, of course, a crochet hook. If you are new to crocheting, I suggest using a slightly bigger hook - that way you'll find it easier to see your stitches. And finally, you'll need some scissors and a darning needle.
So, let's get started!
Materials:
a 4mm crochet hook
some yarn of your choice, in two colours. I am using a DK yarn in yellow and white.
scissors
a darning needle
Abbreviations:
dc: double crochet
dtr: double treble crochet (see below)
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked in UK terms, not US (if you are unsure about the difference between terms, you can find my post where I explain it in detail here).
Special Stitches: Double Treble Crochet
Yarn over your hook twice and insert it into your stitch.
Yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops on your hook (3 loops on your hook).
Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops on your hook).
Yarn over and pull through your last 2 loops.
Method:
Round 1:
Begin by creating a magic ring. If you are unsure how to do this, check out my blog post here where I explain how to do this in detail.
Into this ring, make 12 dc.
Pull your ring closed and then slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.
Fasten off and cut your yarn.
Round 2:
Attach your white yarn to any stitch.
*Chain 4.
Into the next stitch, make 3 dtr.
Chain 4, and then slip stitch into the next stitch.* This is your first petal.
Repeat the above steps around until you have six petals. Then, fasten off, cut your yarn and sew in any ends using your darning needle!
And there you are! It really is that simple!
