Step by step Pattern
Starting the Flower Core:
- Create a Magical Ring.
- Round 1: Inside the magical ring, work 6 single crochet (sc). Note that the first loop on the hook is not a single crochet. Close the circle and slip stitch (sl st) to the first stitch of this round.
Building the Core:
- Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1) to start, which does not count as a stitch. In this round, work 2 sc in each stitch from the previous round (6 increases in total), making 12 stitches. Slip stitch to close the round.
- Round 3: Ch 1 to start. Sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat – 6 times in total. Close with a slip stitch.
- Round 4: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each of the first two spaces, then an increase in the third space; repeat this sequence 6 times in total. Close with a slip stitch.
Building up the Shape:
- Rounds 5 to 7: Ch 1 to start each round, work one sc in each stitch around.
- Round 8 (Decreasing Starts): Ch 1, work 1 sc in the first stitch, 1 sc in the second stitch, then decrease over the next 2 stitches (3rd and 4th); repeat this sequence around.
- Round 9: Follow a similar pattern to Round 8. Close the round and then fill the flower core with filling material.
Finishing the Core
- Round 10: Ch 1, then work 6 decreases around. Cut off the yarn.
Making the Fluffy Petals:
- Attach yarn to one of the left half stitches of the flower core. Ch 8 (adjust the chain number for larger or smaller petals), slip stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this step around to create the first row of petals.
Leaf Creation:
- Start with a slip knot, then chain 15.
- Insert craft wire alongside the chain foundation.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, work one sc in each chain, placing 3 sc in the last chain. Turn to other side and continue working one sc in each chain.
- For the second round, skip the first space, work a decrease, then ch 2, and do a slip stitch in the back bump of the first chain. Repeat to create leaf tips, ending with a sc in the last space. Cut off the yarn.
Creating the Flower Torus (Base):
- Start with a slip knot, chain 2 (not counted as a stitch), then work 7 double crochet (dc) into the circle. Close the circle with a slip stitch.
- For the petals of the torus, chain 4, then slip stitch starting from the second chain from the hook back down to the circle. Repeat this to create 7 petals around the torus. Cut the yarn, and hide the tails.
Assembly:
- Once all parts are completed, assemble the flower by attaching the torus at the base, adding the leaves and positioning the petals flush around the flower’s core to give it its final look.
