I love nature and I try to express my love through the art of crochet. Crocheting tiny things especially flowers is my all-time favourite. They are simple to make and are not restricted to any special skills. With little thread or yarn a beauty is created, I mean a beautiful flower. Handmade flowers especially crochet ones are perfect to gift as they stay for long in one’s heart, they express your love to the special person for whom you make them.
Today’s pattern consists of four rounds. The flowers have two layers, each layer has five petals. The first layer resembles a star and the second one is curved as waves. This is an intermediate skill level project. The size of the flowers will vary as per the supply used that is the thickness of the thread and hook size, accordingly the gauge will also change. The flower made for this project has a size of 2.5 inches, I have used 4ply cotton thread and suitable hook size. I have used self-colour for the entire flower if you wish the addition of different colour for the second phase can be done.
Few tips – I would like to recommend using crochet thread and not wool as the lustre and finishing is great. Adding a few establishments will enhance the beauty of this handmade flower.
