🌺How to Crochet EASY for Beginners Flower Pattern 🌺

 


Easy Continuous Crochet Flower — Step-by-step

Finished size (sample): 5–7 cm (2–2.8") depending on yarn & hook.
Yarn / hook (suggestion):

  • Sport/DK yarn + 3.0–4.0 mm hook → medium small flower.

  • Size 10 crochet thread + 1.5–2.5 mm hook → lacey tiny flower.

  • Bulky yarn + larger hook → oversized decorative flower.

Materials: yarn, matching hook, scissors (only for final cut), tapestry needle for weaving, blocking pins (optional).

Abbreviations (US)

  • ch = chain

  • sl st = slip stitch

  • sc = single crochet

  • hdc = half double crochet

  • dc = double crochet

  • tr = treble crochet (optional)

  • st = stitch

  • sp = space

  • rep = repeat

Design overview (how it works)

  1. Work a small center ring.

  2. Make anchor loops around the center (ch-loops) that determine petal placement.

  3. Work petal fans into those loops (5-dc or 3-dc fans).

  4. Finish with a tidy outer round that stabilizes the flower.

  5. Do the whole flower continuously (no cutting) so you can immediately start the next motif or continue with a join — instructions below.


Exact stitch pattern (8-petal version)

Round 1 — magic ring center

  1. Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and sl st to form a ring).

  2. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 7 dc into the ring. (Total = 8 dc including the ch-3.)

  3. Pull ring tight. Join with sl st to top of ch-3.
    (You may also do 12 dc if you prefer 12 anchor points; the pattern below uses 8 petals.)

Round 2 — anchor loops (creates 8 ch-3 loops)

  1. Ch 1, sc in next dc, ch 3 — repeat around until you have 8 sc + 8 ch-3 loops.

  2. Join with sl st to first sc.

These ch-3 loops are where the petals will be worked.

Round 3 — petal fans (the flower petals)

Work into each ch-3 loop the following tapered fan:

  1. Sl st into the first ch-3 loop to position your hook.

  2. Work: (sc, ch 1, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, ch 1, sc) all into the same ch-3 loop.

    • This creates a petal with a tall center (5 dc) and tapered edges (hdc + sc).

  3. Repeat into every ch-3 loop around → you will have 8 petals.

  4. Join with sl st to first sc (or join to the base sc of the first petal).

(If you want smaller petals, use 3 dc instead of 5 dc. For taller dramatic petals, use 7 dc.)


Round 4 — outline & stabilize (continuous, do not cut)

Without cutting yarn, continue to work an outer round that outlines petals and makes the flower lie flat.

  1. Ch 1 (do not turn).

  2. Working along petal edges: sc in the outer sc of the petal, ch 4, sc in the outer sc of the next petal. Repeat around so you form 8 ch-4 arches between petals. Join with sl st into first sc.

  3. (Optional — tighter outline) Instead of ch-4 you can do ch-3 if you want the petals closer.

Round 5 — finishing round (sc + small scallops)

Still without cutting, tidy the edge so the flower is finished and stable.

  1. Ch 1. Work sc evenly around working 3 sc into each ch-4 arch (or sc, ch 2, sc to make little picot arches), OR make 5-dc shells for a decorative ruffled edge: skip ch-4, (5 dc) in ch-4, skip next sc, sc in next sc.

  2. Join with sl st. Fasten off (now you may cut) and weave in tail with tapestry needle.

Working continuously (no cutting / without tearing the yarn)

This is the key “без отрыва нити” method:

  • After finishing Round 1, do not cut. Carry the same working yarn into Round 2, Round 3, etc. You never have to tie off until the motif is completely finished.

  • When you want to make another flower immediately, simply continue with Round 6 below OR slip the motif off the hook, leave the tail, and begin the next motif with the same yarn by chaining into the next magic ring. That will create a continuous chain of motifs on one strand (useful for making garlands or for saving ends).

  • If you need to change color: slip to the point where you want the new color, pull up the new color through the last loop and continue — cut old color later if you want to hide tails.


Quick join options (useful if making many flowers)

A — Join-as-you-go (on Round 4 or 5)

If you want to join flower motifs into a flat fabric (no sewing), this is how to join while you work the final stabilizing round:

  • Make the first flower completely.

  • Make the second flower up through Round 3. Start Round 4 (the ch-arch round). When you reach an arch that lies next to an already finished flower, instead of making a plain ch-4, do:

    • ch 2, sl st into the corresponding stitch (or ch-space) of the finished flower, ch 2 (or ch 1, sl st, ch 1 depending on spacing).

  • Continue; each slipped connection attaches the new flower to its neighbor. This creates an airy joined fabric (great for shawls, runners).

B — Sew after blocking (simple)

Block all flowers, arrange layout, and sew with tapestry needle and matching yarn with whipstitch or mattress stitch through back loops for a nearly invisible join.

Variations (fast ideas)

  • 7-petal or 12-petal versions: change Round 1 to 7 or 12 dc to get a different petal count — then make one anchor loop per center dc. Adjust repeats accordingly.

  • Smaller petals: use (sc, 3 dc, sc) instead of the longer petal.

  • Layered flower: make a small 5-petal flower for the center, then make a larger 8-petal flower and stitch the small one on top for a layered look.

  • Beaded center: before you start, pre-string some seed beads and slide one onto the hook to seat at the center when joining Round 1 (or sew a bead on with needle afterward).

  • Flower with leaf edge: after Round 4, in the ch-4 arch do (sc, ch1, (hdc, dc, hdc) in arch, ch1, sc) to create leaf shapes between petals.

Blocking & finishing

  • Lightly steam or wet-block the flower and pin the petals to shape. Blocking opens petals and makes motif sit flat.

  • For acrylic yarn: steam lightly; for cotton: wet block and pin to dry.

  • After blocking, weave in tails neatly on the back.


Troubleshooting & tips

  • Petals flop? Use smaller hook or add one extra outline round (Round 5) of sc to stiffen. Cotton holds shape better than acrylic.

  • Center hole too large? Pull magic ring tighter or add one more sc round around the center before making anchor loops (e.g., make Round 1 = 12 sc then Round 2 anchors).

  • Uneven petals? Make sure you work the exact number of stitches in each petal and into the same size loop — consistency in loop size is key.

  • When joining JAYG: pin motifs together first to line up join points; this prevents skew.

Uses & projects

  • Appliqués for hats, garments, bags.

  • Make many and join-as-you-go to produce shawls, table runners, placemats or a flower blanket.

  • String several on yarn to make a flower garland (work continuously so they’re already connected).

  • Use as centers of larger motifs or for layered 3D embellishments.

The video likely suggests a specific multiple (e.g., chain 30, 40) for easy pattern repeats. 2. Turn and First Row Work the first row using basic stitches—likely single crochet (sc) or half-double crochet (hdc)—to create a stable base. 3. Establish the Eye-Catching Pattern The tutorial centers around a visually striking repeat—such as alternating textures, openwork motifs, or layered stitches. A common beginner-friendly approach: skip‑1 chains, cluster stitches in gaps, alternating with solid stitches to create pattern depth. 4. Continue the Repeat Pattern Repeat the main pattern across each row, maintaining consiste...
