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.

the next chain stitch make 2 double crochet stitches. To make a double

pull through, leaves you with 3 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull
through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 hoops.
