CROCHET FLOWER



Crochet flowers are all the rage right now!!!  Add one to your hat, scarf, or just glue one to a hair clip or stick pin to use as an accessory.  They look intimidating for some....but really super easy.  I've given clear pics for each round to show what it should look like each step of the way.  In this pattern I have used Worsted Weight yarn and a size G crochet hook.  But you could use ANY combination of hook and yarn to make all sizes of flowers.  You can also make it larger by continuing on after rnd 4, increasing in the same manner.  The possibilities are endless!!  So get your hook and all those small scraps of yarn out and get busy!!

when doing a bpdc this is how your hook will look from the front side when inserted correctly
