Simple Crochet Flower Appliqué
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight white cotton yarn (approximately 25 grams)
- Crochet Hook: 4.5 mm (G/7)
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends
Gauge:
Since this is a small project, gauge is not critical. However, to practice, aim for about 4 inches = 14 stitches and 8 rows in single crochet.
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
Instructions:
1. Start by creating a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, insert the hook into the ring, and pull the yarn through.
2. Chain 2 to start the first round.
3. In the magic ring, work 10 double crochets (dc) in total, creating the petals of the flower. This first round should have 10 stitches. Once complete, pull the tail of the yarn to close the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first dc.
4. For round 2, *chain 2, then work one single crochet (sc) in the next dc; repeat from * around. You should have 10 sc in total. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
5. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing if you wish to attach the flower to another project.
Finishing:
Carefully weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle. If desired, you can lightly steam block the flower to give it a nice shape.
Optional Variations:
You can create flowers in various colors by simply changing the yarn color. Try adding more or fewer petals by adjusting the number of dc in the first round!
