Crochet Flower Tutorial

Be sure to check out my First Giveaway while you are here!!

These little flowers are so cute and can be used on about anything, cards, scrapbooks, headbands, hats, etc.  It usually takes me about 10 minutes to make one, so once you get the hang of it they are really quick to make. 

 
So, all you need is two things really.  Some yarn and a crochet hook.  The hook I used is an "H", and I picked it up at Walmart as well as this yarn.


Rnd 1: Ch 3, sl st to beg chain to form a ring.  


Rnd 2: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), 6 dc in ring, sl st to top of first dc. (7 dc)

 Rnd 3: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in same st, 2 dc in each of next 6 sts. Sl st to top of ch 2. (14 dc)


Rnd 4: Change thread color if desired. *Ch 2, 3dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in next st* across.  Repeat from the * to make 7 petals.  Fasten off.

If you have any questions on how to make these, please email me and I will try to help!  Have fun!!
