Unique Flower Crochet Pattern🌸 How-To Tutorial for Beginners

 


🌸 Unique Flower Crochet Pattern — Step-by-Step Tutorial

Nice — here’s a clear, beginner-friendly, round-by-round text tutorial you can crochet right away. It produces a decorative flower medallion that can be left circular or converted to a joinable square for blouses, shawls, runners or trims. I use US terms and include exact stitch groupings, quick checks after each round, blocking, joining-as-you-go advice, troubleshooting and a few variations.

Materials & finished size

  • Yarn: sport / DK (cotton for crisp lace; cotton-blend or soft acrylic for drapey wearables)

  • Hook: 3.0–4.5 mm (choose to obtain the finished size you want)

  • Notions: tapestry needle, blocking pins/mat, scissors, stitch marker (optional)

  • Finished motif (blocked): ≈ 9–13 cm (3.5–5 in) depending on yarn & hook

Abbreviations (US)

  • ch = chain

  • sl st = slip stitch

  • sc = single crochet

  • hdc = half double crochet

  • dc = double crochet

  • tr = treble crochet

  • pic = picot (ch 3, sl st into base)

  • sp = space

  • st(s) = stitch(es)

  • rep = repeat


Pattern — Round-by-Round

All rounds are joined with sl st unless noted.

Round 1 — neat center (magic ring)

  1. Make a magic ring.

  2. ch 3 (counts as first dc). Work 15 dc into the ring.

    • ch-3 counts as 1 dc, plus 15 dc = 16 dc total.

  3. Pull ring closed tightly. sl st to top of ch-3 to join.
    Check: 16 dc.

Round 2 — chain-loop foundation (petal scaffolding)

  1. ch 4, skip next dc, sc in next dc — repeat around.

    • Because you skip every other of the 16 dc you make 8 ch-4 loops and 8 sc anchors.

  2. Join with sl st to first sc.
    Check: 8 ch-4 spaces.

Round 3 — puffy petals (8 petals)

  1. Into each ch-4 loop work this cluster all into the same ch-4 space:
    (sc, hdc, 7 dc, hdc, sc).

    • That is 1 sc + 1 hdc + 7 dc + 1 hdc + 1 sc = 11 stitches worked into the loop as one petal cluster.

  2. Repeat for all 8 loops. Join with sl st.
    Check: 8 full petals.


Round 4 — tidy sc round (even the base)

  1. Rejoin between any two petals. Work sc evenly around the base of the petals to flatten and even the motif. Aim for about 9–12 sc per petal area (that’s roughly 8 × 10 ≈ 80 sc total, but adjust ±1–3 per petal so the round lies flat).

  2. Join with sl st.
    Check: outer boundary should be smooth and lie flat.

Round 5 — large arches (lacy frame)

  1. From a petal tip: sl st to tip → ch 7 → anchor into the sc round between the next petals with (tr, ch 2, tr, ch 2, tr) worked into that sc or small space → sl st back to petal tip.

  2. Repeat around to create 8 large arches. (If ch-7 looks too long or short on your yarn/hook, use ch-6 or ch-8 — adjust visually.)

  3. Join with sl st.
    Check: 8 evenly spaced arches bridging the petals.

Round 6 — decorative ribs inside arches

  1. Working into each ch arch, make the ribbed fill:
    sl st into arch base → ch 3 → dc into top of first tr → ch 1 → dc into top of middle tr → ch 1 → dc into top of last tr → ch 3 → sl st into same arch base.

  2. Repeat for all 8 arches and join. (If you prefer simpler: work 3 dc separated by ch-1 across each arch.)
    Check: each arch shows 3 internal ribs and looks layered.


Round 7 — (optional) side loops & corner shaping → make it square-joinable

Use this round only if you want motifs to join into a neat grid (highly recommended for blouses/runners).

  1. Mark four quarter points (every 2 petals = 90° apart). Rejoin at a quarter marker.

  2. Work along each side between corners like this (example distribution — adjust to fit your motif size):
    sc 10, (sc, ch 4, sc) × 3, sc 10, then make ch 6 for a corner loop.

    • Important: use the same numbers on all four sides (i.e., same sc counts and same number of side loops) so adjacent motifs match perfectly when joining.

  3. Repeat for all sides, join and fasten off (or continue to Round 8).
    Check: motif now has 4 corner ch-6 loops and evenly spaced side loops — blocks to a square.

Round 8 — outer scallop & picot finish (join round)

  1. Rejoin and work the decorative scalloped edge: for example sc 3, (pic: ch 3, sl st into same st), sc 4 across each small outer curve — adjust sc counts per curve so the scallop sits flat.

  2. Place picots at regular intervals for the dotted/bobbly effect. Join, fasten off and weave in ends.
    Check: scallops and picots even; motif lies flat after blocking.


Blocking & finishing

  • Pin motifs to blocking board/towel into desired shape (square if you used Round 7). Pull corner loops outward to form crisp corners; pin picots for pointy scallops. Lightly mist with water or use steam and allow to dry completely. Blocking is essential to open the lace and set accurate joins.

Joining motifs — two options

1) Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) — recommended

  • Crochet first motif completely. For each new motif, work Rounds 1–7. On Round 8 (outer scallop) when you reach a stitch that should meet an adjacent finished motif, replace that sl st/picot (or the stitch you would make) with a sl st into the corresponding stitch/picot of the finished motif. Attach at the side ch-4 loops and at the corner ch-6 loops. This yields flat, nearly invisible joins and saves sewing.

2) Sew-after (block then sew)

  • Make and block all motifs. Lay out the design, pin motifs together and sew with a tapestry needle and matching yarn through the Round-4/5 area or through side loops. Mattress stitch or whipstitch both work.


Variations & ideas

  • Two-color motif: change color after Round 3 (petals) so petals contrast with the frame.

  • Larger motif: use thicker yarn or larger hook — or increase petal dc (7 → 9) and arch chains (ch-7 → ch-9).

  • Smaller motif: use finer yarn and smaller hook or reduce petal dcs (7 → 5).

  • Simpler beginner version: replace Round 5–6 archwork with ch-5 loops and 3 dc across each loop for an easier lacy look.

  • Make panels: join squares into blouse panels, or join in strips for runners/shaWs. Add a scallop border around assembled piece.

Troubleshooting (quick)

  • Motif cups (edges pull up): loosen tension, try a slightly larger hook for the petal & arch rounds, or block more firmly.

  • Motif ripples/waves: shorten arch chains (ch-7 → ch-6) or reduce sc count in Round 4.

  • Joints gap: add an extra sl st at each join point during JAYG, or block motifs before joining.

  • Sides don’t match: ensure Round 7 side sc/loop counts are identical for all motifs before joining.
