Well after a few weeks of fuzziness the world is starting to look clearer. There are going to be some big, but very exciting changes in mine and Si’s life over the coming months. I’m changing jobs and Si has some really exciting opportunities that he is exploring. So, in celebration me and a large glass of something red, my crochet hook and my camera sat out in the sunshine and designed a new flower, especially for you! I’ve called it a layered flower, as it has two different layers of petals...
You are going to be crocheting into the front loop only and back loop only of a double-crochet. In case you need a reminder, this is what I mean….
Front loop only…
Back loop only…
You can use any yarn that you have to hand and a hook appropriate for the yarn. A copy and paste pattern is at the bottom of this post!
5ch, ss to join…
7dc into the round, ss to join…
Working into the front loop only, * ss to first dc, 5ch, ss into the dc*…
Repeat *-* until you have your first layer of petals…
Working into the back loop only **ss to first dc, 7ch, ss into the dc**…
Repeat **-** until you have your second layer of petals…
Have fun experimenting with different number of double crochet and different lengths of chain petals. I’d love to see you flowers. You can share them here, or on Facebook or on Ravelry.
Happy crocheting!
