I learned to knit back in middle school, and though I wasn't very good at it I could make a decent scarf, which is what I was making for a friend last Christmas. I had this idea in my head to make little flowers that I could attach to the scarf but the problem was, I didn't know how to crochet more than a chain. So what did I do? Like anyone my age with access to the internet, I googled it. More specifically, I "youtubed" it. I'm a very visual learner and I needed to SEE it being done rather than being told how it worked. So I found this video and from there I was able to make my flowers, finish my project, and now my friend has a super cute scarf to wear on the rare occasions it actually gets cold here in Texas.
Even though I was super happy to have learned this I had to keep going back to the video over and over again to make more flowers, so to help out all my crochet newbies out there I'm going to put pen to paper and write this pattern out. This by NO MEANS makes it my pattern, I'm still just going off the video I've linked to.
First we start by making a slip knot.
Chain 3
Work 9 double crochet into the loop.
Join together by slip stitching into the top of the third chain.
*Chain 2
Work 3 double crochet in next stitch.
Chain 2
Slip stitch into next stitch. (Sorry, no picture)
Repeat from * till you have 5 petals
Now cut yarn and pull it all the way through the last loop on the hook and voila! Pretty flower!
