How To Crochet A Beautiful Flower

Hello everyone ✨

The #howto contest ends in five days and I thought I should make one last video before the deadline. Making shorts has been really fun for me as it's a process of learning, unlearning and relearning. If you haven't joined the contest,then it isn't too late to do so ;)

For today, I will be showing you how to make a beautiful crochet flower in just three easy steps. Crochet flowers are really nice accessories to have around. If you are an artist or a crafter, you could always use crochet flowers to enhance your art. The flowers can be added to clothes, used as cup coasters, made into a flower bouquet; the options are endless.

Materials

To make this flower, you would need

• Yarns
• Crocheting pin
• Yarn needle
• A pair of scissors
  

Procedure.

First off, I started by making a magic circle. Magic circles could give some people a tough time but once you're done making your magic circle, then the rest of the project would be easier. Into the magic circle, I made eight single crochet stitches. Keeping it at an even number helps to ensure the evenness of your flower.

After making the single crochet stitches, I made a slip stitch and went ahead to make three chains. Into the same stitch where I made three chains, I made a double crochet stitch. This gives me the first pattern.

For the rest of the holes, I made two double crochet stitches. In the end I had sixteen lovely stitches. If you started with eight single crochet stitches and you worked two double crochet stitches into each hole, you should end up with sixteen stitches just like myself.

After the sixteenth stitch, I made a slip knot and cut off my yarn. My little circle is ready. It's time to make the petals.

For the petals, I made a slip stitch into the yellow yarn with a different coloured yarn. After attaching a different coloured yarn, I made a chain of six , went over my yarn four times and into the next hole. I worked out all the stitches in twos. Into the same hole, I repeated this pattern three times. After the third repetition, I made a chain of six and slip stitched it into another hole. I repeated the whole pattern seven times.

By the end of the seventh time, I did a slip stitch and cut off my yarn. The last thing I did was sew in my loose ends. After sewing in the loose ends, my flower was pretty much ready.

This is a really fun crochet project that anyone could try out in their spare time. To reiterate, I enjoyed making this flower and I couldn't hold back. I found myself making more and more of it. If care isn't taken, I may end up with a bouquet of crochet flowers by the end of today.

I would like to know which colour combination was your favourite? Thank you for your time.
