The Art of Crocheting Flowers

Knowing how to crochet a flower can give people lots of room to be creative. They can add their crocheted flowers to sweaters, purses, and almost anything else. Crocheted flowers can also make for excellent gifts. Crocheted flowers are versatile, which is all the more reason to learn how to crochet a flower.

Step One: Hobbyists first have to decide upon a type of yarn and a type of hook. Beginners will be surprised to see how much yarn can very in terms of fiber, color, and weight. Beginners should ideally choose thicker types of yarn and thicker hooks.

Step Two: After getting all of the required materials together, hobbyists should chain stitches and make a loop.

Step Three: Hobbyists should create a third chain, which will serve as a base for the petals.

Step Four: Hobbyists then need to create a series of fourteen double crochets, using the original loop as a support. They can complete the center of the flower by creating a slip stitch for the chain of three.

Step Five: Using the first stitch, hobbyists can create a half double crochet, followed by a double and triple crochet.

Step Six: Using the next stitch, hobbyists can create a triple, double, and half double crochet followed by a slip stitch at the level of the next stitch. At this point, hobbyists will have created the first petal. They can perform the same steps in order to get all of the petals that they need to create a balanced and lovely flower. The last stitch needs a slip stitch. At that point, hobbyists just need to tie everything off and conceal the thread.

Crocheting a flower is a very involved process, but even beginners can quickly get the hang of it. For some people, it may be much easier than it sounds.
