- Materials Needed:
- Two colors of thread (e.g., green and yellow).
- A 2.5 mm crochet hook, a needle, and scissors.
- Big Flower Creation:
- Begins with a slip knot and chain stitches to form the foundation.
- Half double crochet stitches are used to build the base line.
- Extended double crochets are introduced to create the texture of the petals.
- Picot stitches are used to add decorative triangular peaks to each petal.
- The process is repeated to finish the pattern for the entire flower, followed by a long cut in the thread for shaping the flower later.
- The flower is rolled into shape and secured with stitching.
- Small Bud Creation:
- Starts with a slip knot and a smaller foundation of chain stitches.
- Half double crochet and extended double crochet stitches are used to create texture, similar to the flower.
- Picot stitches are added on the edges of the buds for a decorative effect.
- The thread is left long at the end for securing and shaping.
- Each bud is rolled into shape and stitched securely after finishing.
- Leaf Creation for Buds:
- Green-colored thread is used to make a magic ring as the base for the leaves.
- Single crochet stitches are made inside the magic ring as the first layer.
- Leaves are created in a sequence of chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochets, and half double crochets.
- The leaf pattern is repeated to complete a series of leaves, attached symmetrically around the magic ring’s base.
- Extra thread is left for attaching leaves to the buds using either glue or stitches.
- Leaf Creation for Flower:
- A separate leaf design is crafted for the big flower using chain stitches, single crochets, double crochets, and triple crochets to create elongated leaves.
- A slip stitch border is added in the middle of the leaf to enhance its design.
- A decorative border is made by alternating chain stitches and slip stitches around the edges of the leaf.
- The leaf is finalized by attaching it to the string.
- Assembly:
- A string is created using chain stitches, which serves as the base for attaching the buds, leaves, and flower.
- The buds are attached to the string using glue or needlework.
- Leaves are secured to both buds and the flower.
- The flower is attached to the string, either with glue or stitching, adding finishing touches.
