Materials

- Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm-4.0 mm, or size suitable for your yarn (regular or Tunisian crochet hook)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Floral wire (for shaping stems)
- Hot glue gun (for attaching stems and decorative finishes)
- Plastic container, foam ball, or similar for flower arrangement (optional)
Key Techniques
- Magic Ring (Circle)
- Tunisian Simple Stitch on Chains (using regular hook)
- Slip Stitch
- Single Crochet
- Arranging on Floral Wire
Pattern Instructions
1. Center Circle
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Work 8 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring.
- Pull the ring tight to close. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc.
2. Forming First "Branch" (Start of Petal)
- Ch 5.
- Keep the end of the yarn loose (hold the tail gently so the chain is not too tight).
- Turn and work Tunisian Simple Stitch into the back loops of each chain:
- Insert the hook into the back loop of the second chain from hook, yarn over and pull up a loop (leave it on the hook).
- Repeat for each remaining chain back toward the center (you will have 5 loops on the hook).
- Insert the hook into the same single crochet (in the center circle), yarn over and pull up another loop (6 loops now).
- Work off all loops as follows:
- Yarn over and pull through 2 loops at a time until all loops are worked off the hook.
3. Return "Branch" (Tunisian on Side 2)
- (Do not fasten off.)
- Find the small vertical bars or side loops from the Tunisian row just worked:
- Insert hook into each side bar, yarn over, and pull up a loop, leaving loops on the hook.
- Repeat for all five (or as many as possible; you should have 6 loops on the hook).
- Insert into the next single crochet in the center round, yarn over and pull up a loop (7 loops).
- Work off as before: yarn over, pull through 2 loops across the row until 1 loop remains.
4. Shape the Branch
- Slip stitch in the next single crochet of the center circle to anchor the petal.
- Repeat Steps 2-4 in each single crochet around the center, creating 4 branches in total.
5. Finishing the Flower
- At the end, join with a slip stitch and fasten off.
- Weave in all yarn ends at the back of the flower.
Stem & Arrangement
- Cut floral wire to desired length (about 8-10 cm).
- Insert wire through the back of the flower, anchoring into the center.
- Wrap with green yarn, securing the base with a hot glue gun as necessary.
- Arrange in a small pot or foam base for display.
- For a bouquet, repeat flower and stem steps as needed and twist wire stems together.
Decorative Pot or Base (Optional)
- Wrap a plastic container or a small foam ball with brown yarn for earth effect, securing with hot glue.
- Anchor the flower stems as desired.
- Add decorative ribbon or fabric for finishing.
Suggestions and Tips
- Keep Tension Even: When working Tunisian stitches on the chain, keep loops and chains loose for easier hook access.
- Petal Length: Change number of starting chains for longer or shorter petals.
- Curled Petals: Gently twist the petals after finishing to create a natural flower effect.
- Color Options: Make petals in multiple shades for a more realistic or decorative bouquet.
- Finishing: Secure wires and ends firmly with hot glue for a neat arrangement.
- Display: Use small pots, jars, or even recycled boxes for unique arrangements.
