HOW TO MAKE SIMPLE ONE ROW CROCHET FLOWER

It is amazing how much effect adding simple flowers can add to any project. I used a simple cluster of three rosettes as embellishments for the knitted bags I posted about the other day.

You can whip up one of these in just a few minutes. They only involve a foundation chain and one row of double crochet stitches. You can increase the size of the flower by adding multiples of 3 stitches using different yarn or different size hooks.

  1. Chain 27 stitches.
  2. Skip the first three stitches - these three stitches form the first double crochet stitch.
  3. In the next chain stitch make 2 double crochet stitches. To make a double crochet stitch, yarn over hook, hook through stitch, yarn over hook, pull through, leaves you with 3 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 hoops. 
  4. Skip next stitch.
  5. Make 2 double crochets in next stitch.
  6. Repeat to the end.
  7. Cut yarn and pull through the last stitch on the hook leaving a tail to sew the flower.
  8. Start at the beginning and curl your work to make a rosette. 
  9. Use tail to sew through and through the flower to secure it.
