Halon is Melanie ham welcome back to my channel. Today's video is this

crochet

flower. I showed it on my Instagram and everyone loved it and wanted to see a tutorial, so this is the video. Look at this one I made, let's jump. I'm going to show you exactly how to make this flower. I'm going to show you how to modify it, since the blue and pink are actually the same pattern, exactly the same numbers, it's just a finer thread, so there are a lot of them. Sometimes as beginners you guys get confused about how yarn choice will affect the pattern and here is an example, literally, blue, pink, exact same numbers, this is just a much thicker yarn, bigger hook, ok so i made this one which is the same type of yarn as the blue one but i made it much smaller so i will have all those details for you on my blog with a bunch of other pictures of different swatches i made.

If you like my videos, please give me a thumbs up, it tells YouTube. My videos are valuable and they like them and they're not trash, so it's really very helpful if they give me a thumbs up or a little comment or however they want to do it. I don't want to force you, but it really helps, so let's move on to the tutorial. This is a cotton thread. I wanted to show it to you in an acrylic yarn. Just get off the hooks I recommend. A 6 millimeter thread is recommended. Here's my hook. This is the clover. more hooks, they are my absolute favorites.

The way the pattern works is that each petal will take about five stitches multiples of 5 plus one, so we'll make it easy and just say 5 to make 25 petals, so 25 times 5 125 more. 1 Okay, this is how multiples work, so go ahead and chain 126, if you want it to be bigger then you can add more, if you want it to be smaller you can add less, two, three, four, five, okay, there are ten, I just want to show you. What the base chain looks like, let the hook do the work for you, try not to leave it too slack but don't let them be these super small points as both will give you problems, so let the hook do the work. job. you and create the size of the stitch that you need, let's do one twenty-six, so I did 125 126 for that rotating chain, what we need to do next is do a single

crochet

in all the stitches all the way to the bottom, so Let's skip that , that's why we need the plus one at the end, no matter how many petals you decide to use, and we're going to do single crochet in the next chain and, if you need a refresher, in the single crochet insert. your hook yarn over yarn over go through both loops okay so single crochet to the beginning here is our base chain with single crochet to the bottom here is our last type here the next step is we are going to turn our work and we need to chain five , so one two three four five and then it's one two three four insert your hook for a slip stitch here and that's where we're going to place our petals, so again one two three four five one two three four in the fifth stitch slip stitch which is insert hook loop continue pulling through one two three four five one two three four in the fifth stitch slip stitch so now continue until you get to the bottom ideally if nothing messed up it should be one, two, three, four, five , one, two, three, four, on the fifth, we're placing our last slip stitch, okay, so I hope it ends, to be honest with you, if this ends with just four stitches or whatever. just move on, it's okay, don't redo all that because of a stitch now, if you know it looks ridiculous, maybe now is an opportunity to redo it, but I'm NOT a fan of ripping things out unless it's absolutely necessary, so I think that you will be able to make it work in the worst case, this first one looks a little ridiculous, you can have your Center convert our work, this is how it should look very bad, now this is how the petals will go.

To make our stitches within the five chain space, we will start with a single crochet. Insert our hook. loops now we're making a double crochet yarn over insert the hook yarn over pull the yarn over two loops yarn over two loops that's our double crochet now we're going to make three double crochets which is and this is all our terminology okay , then to triple stitch yarn over twice insert the hook loop pull through four loops on the hook yarn over for yarn over two and again we need three of those triple yarn overs twice insert the yarn over for the hook pull the yarn over for yarn over pass to yarn over two last one two and two well now I don't like having this giant space here, so we're going to do another double crochet in our second, so basically the center point under here, so one two three four, like this that in that second stitch we are going to place a problem, okay, so make the yarn over twice, lower the hook, insert it in the second stitch, pass the yarn over through four loops on the hook, yarn over by yarn over to pass and what That makes him kind. flatten that pedal a little bit and control that gap, okay, now we're going to repeat the same side here in this opening, so that's another three triples.

I'm going to go a little faster, here's number three, right now. we do double crochet, half double crochet in the three loops and then a single crochet at the end here is our first petal, there is no need to do a slip stitch or make a transition, we are going to start with our single crochet right in the next space of five chains so again single crochet half double crochet double crochet three problems okay and then the problem in that second single crochet here twice so we insert our hook, grab the yarn from behind, pull it and then three problems more double crochet half a double crochet ending with a single crochet to finish petal number two and it will be like, you know, twisted curves, go ahead and make all the petals in all five spaces of the chain all the way to the beginning.

See you there so just When I was done, I sat down and did it all in one go so I could time it and it took me about 50 minutes to do it and I was focused, I wasn't on my phone or doing anything. It shouldn't be next. The step is optional. Cut the thread. Pull it to make it secure. Go back here to the beginning and put the thread back here. Then we'll leave that tail out later, so insert the hook where the loop was. loop and then I'm doing it in the back loop just because that creates that little ridge, so insert into the back loop the yarn over, keep pulling, so again it's totally optional, but I feel like it adds a really extra finishing touch to Like this that looks at the difference between this side and this side and that's all you have to do to get to the end.

Okay, so on that back loop we're just stitching, let me show you what it looks like at the end of the petal. It slides so you can squeeze very quickly, so make sure it doesn't pull. I also do these little stitches down here, you can see the difference there, okay, so go ahead and finish those slip stitches and I'll see you at the end and show you. You know how, so we're going to sew it right and then I'm going to thread this all the way to the base and then I'm going to leave a really long tail so we can sew, that's just going to eliminate a couple of extra fabrics on the tails.

Okay, so we need a fairly long strand. I'd say make it 24 to 25 inches and two feet long or so, you'll end up trimming it in the end, but it's better to be safe than sorry and you need your needle. We just want to Tuck this in so the way it works is, you're going to roll this one up and then you're going to go around it like you're starting to make a circle, making a circle, okay and sometimes it's easier to do it from the back. because you line up those low points, they see that, but we, of course, want it to look good, so you'll end up worrying a little bit about this, you'll see how they're like keeping these petals and really making a shape on the flower and trying to keep them flat here at the bottom, you see how they're running next to each other, and basically we're going to take this and so with the bottom together and this will take you know, a few minutes because we want to make sure that it's nice and safe, especially if you're going to put this in a hat, this one you know is big, maybe you want to put this in a bag or something like that we don't want. the rows fall or fall apart from the middle so I'll start here and I like to run it through the bottom of everything and sprinkle the flour that way if I handle it I know it won't fall apart completely.

I'm going to cross it a little bit and sew it up, so basically you're going to go back and forth, keep it well hidden until you feel like you have it secure. Go ahead and keep sewing your flour. together we knit all those other tails and that's it
