Volumetric crochet flower

It is no less simple to perform and is knitted according to the same pattern as its simple version. The only thing is the number of layers. Thanks to them, you get a realistic flower. The main thing is to understand the sequence - in each next row the number of petal columns s/n increases by two each time, as does vp. during petal formation.

First, the middle of the flower is crocheted - a ring, then we knit the petals into it in parts.

The petal consists of 5 parts, each threaded through the center ring.

We suggest knitting 5, but you can do more if you like this option better.

Let's consider the first version of the flower with a wide center into which you can thread a button.

3 row flower

Prepare: scissors, threads of 2 colors, a hook according to the size of the threads, look at the photo to choose the right one.

Let's get started and start with the first air loop, then knit another 6 VP (air loops). Close the ring with a connecting post, through 2 loops, the last one and pull the thread on the hook. The first row is ready.
1 ch for lifting, then knit 11 single crochets into a ring. At the same time, we lay the thread from the inside and make sure that it is not visible from the other side. If there is no space left in the ring, and not all the loops are knitted, move the knitting, making the knitting tighter and tie all the loops into the ring.
Having finished the last loop, cut off the thread, leaving a long end, thread the hook into the second loop of the row and grab the thread through it and pull it through, pick up the outer wall in the last loop and pull the thread through it.
We form the same external loop. We hide the remaining part of the thread along the wrong side of the knitting, prying it under the loops and pulling it through. Cut off the remaining thread.
Fold a thread of a different color in half, form a loop and pull it through 2 slices of the top loop, then knit 11 chain stitches.
We knit the connecting post into the next loop, connecting the chain and the base, we knit it in 2 segments, laying the tail of the thread inside from the outside, hiding it. Repeat with 12 petals.
Having knitted it to the end, we knit the connecting post in the same way to the base and stretch the loop, cut the thread, leaving a tail so that it can be hidden. On the wrong side, we hide the thread, threading it through the loops.

Simple crochet flowers for beginners

In this part of our selection, we want to collect the simplest color schemes that are not difficult to knit. Sometimes they are very useful for decorating booties, hats and other small items.

The whole point of knitting a simple flower is this:

we knit the middle from a ch, if you want there to be no hole in the center - the number of loops should be 3-4-5, if you need a hole for a bead, then 6-8.
2 rub. from st b/n, the number of columns should be 2 times greater than ch.
3 rubles from petals - 4,5,6 pcs. The petal is knitted in a combination of large and small stitches. For example, Art. b/n, 2-3 st. s/n, st. b/n. - this is the simplest petal.
the smallest flowers have 2 rubles. It’s better to skip it and immediately crochet the flower petals.

How to turn such a flower into a flower in a clearing?

It is enough to simply sew on a button of a suitable size so that the flower is fastened to it. Choose buttons on a stem with eyes, a nose and a mouth.

This way the flowers look more interesting and immediately become an educational toy. Fastening a flower onto a button develops fine motor skills of children's fingers.
Details about educational simple toys and how to knit them for beginners are described here.

Let's look at how to crochet a flower for beginners with a video, free of charge, so you can watch it again and again?

Flower decor

The final touch in the design of knitted flowers is their decoration with rhinestones or beads. As you can see in the video, this is quite simple to do, but it looks impressive. Flowers are embroidered along the edges of the petals with beads, rhinestones, beads made of natural stones or sequins.

The sparkling elements look like drops of dew. They attract attention and make the flower unforgettable.

For longer petals

With a narrow center and longer petals

Step-by-step knitting instructions:

Knit 4 VP and connect into a PS ring.
3VP, 3SS2N, 3VP (this is 1 flower petal). Connect with the PS ring. Repeat 4 more times for a flower with 5 petals.
Finish knitting by cutting off the end of the thread and leaving the thread. Hide it in knitting.

Now you already know how to knit the lightest flowers. Did you manage to knit it in 5 minutes? If not, then most likely you just need to practice.

Knitting materials

For production, you can choose any yarn from simple cotton to exquisite cashmere. Cotton is suitable for bookmarks, summer brooches or postcard decor. Viscose or silk are also suitable for these purposes.

These materials will look spectacular on napkin rings or as jewelry. Thick woolen materials are suitable for winter jewelry, sofa cushions or refrigerator magnets.

The hook must be selected depending on the thickness of the yarn. It should be one and a half times thicker. For viscose or cotton yarn, hook number 2 is suitable, for woolen yarn - number 4-6.

Chamomile

The middle of the chamomile is made with yellow thread

1. Sliding loop and knit 6 sc inside. Tighten the sliding loop and connect the last and first loops of the row using a connecting loop. 2. 2 sc in each loop (12 sc), sp.

3. 1СБН, 2СБН to the end of the row, SP (18П).

4. 1 sc in each loop, i.e. we knit without increments, SP.

5. Turn inside out.

Chamomile petals - white

We thread the hook under the back half-loop, grab the working thread and knit 11VP In 3 loops RLS, PS with double crochet, 1DC, 1DC, 1DC, 1DC, 1DC, PDC.

Insert the hook into the last loop and pull out the working thread, there are 2 loops on the hook.

We insert the hook into the back half loop and pull out the loop, there are 3 loops on the hook. We knit 3 loops together.

Turn the work over to the other side.

We skip the loop at the base and into the next one, i.e. We knit the 2nd loop with a joint venture.

We tie the SP to the top of the petal, 1VP.

We move to the 2nd side of the petal and tie the joint venture.

The last loop is knitted like this: we put the hook into the loop and pull out the loop (there are 2 loops on the hook), then at the base where the petal is attached, we pull out the loop and pull it through 2 loops.

Wrong side

Return to the beginning of knitting the petal using a connecting loop. To do this, insert a hook into the middle of the base loop and pull out the joint, i.e. for the half-loop of the yellow base inside.

We knit the next petal using the outer half loop of the base.

This is a finished petal, repeat until all the petals on the circle are connected.

2nd center of the circle - yellow

Knit 1 more part of the circle. Place a piece of cotton wool or padding polyester in the center of the flower, then attach the second center and sew it to the flower.

Chamomile is ready.

Crochet leaves for Irish lace

The Irish lace knitting technique delights and fascinates with its beauty. Not every knitter is able to comprehend the basics of this ancient art. Only a true master is able to bring together millions of small elements, tying them with an elegant thin mesh-web.

You can start mastering this difficult technique now with master classes on crocheting leaves with detailed diagrams and descriptions of the entire process.

To work you will need:

cotton yarn;
thin hook, suitable for the thickness of the yarn;
scissors or wire cutters for cutting thread.

Option 1: leaf with veins

Knitting difficulty is medium. It takes 3-5 minutes to knit one leaf. The leaf is knitted in turning rows with increasing stitches at the bottom and shortening the stitches before turning the knitting at the top of the product. The rows to the right and left of the cast-on chain are knitted symmetrically to each other.

This option is widely used in knitting summer wardrobe items using the Irish lace technique. In addition, such a leaf can be used as an additional decoration for hair clips, for decorating clothes, bags, and in creating flower arrangements.

Diagram and description:

Step-by-step instruction:

Cast on a chain of 10 chain stitches, plus 1 lifting loop.
Unfold the knitting and continue working according to the pattern. You should knit in single crochets, threading the hook through both sides of the loop.
Having finished knitting, cut the working thread and secure the tip to the wrong side of the leaf.

Option 2: leaves on a branch

The difficulty of knitting is low. Time spent on work is 10-15 minutes. The knitted pattern is a stem on which small oval leaves are attached in a certain order. You can make as many branches as necessary according to the plan. A distinctive feature of the model is the simultaneous knitting of the stem and leaves.

Step-by-step instruction:

Cast on a chain of air loops of the required length.
Tie the leaf according to the proposed pattern.
Continue knitting the stem while moving lower down the chain.
Tie a leaf from one side of the stem. Go down a little further along the chain and knit the leaf on the other side according to the pattern.
Continue knitting, alternating the arrangement of leaves on the stem. The order of placing the leaves can be any: mirror, checkerboard, chaotic.
If necessary, branch the stem and continue knitting according to the previously described pattern.
When the sample is completely knitted, cut the thread and hide the tip on the wrong side of the product.

Option 3: openwork fern leaf

Knitting difficulty is medium. It will take 12-20 minutes to work. The leaf is round-oblong, openwork, reminiscent of a fern leaf. Knitted in circular rows. The pattern consists of 3 rows and a binding.

A leaf is knitted from the cutting, gradually increasing in volume along the sides and top. This option is perfect for creating summer tops, dresses, sundresses using the Irish lace technique.

Diagram and description:

Step-by-step instruction:

Cast on a chain of 20 chain stitches.
Continue knitting according to the pattern, simultaneously knitting the inner partitions and the central stem of the leaf.
Create openwork arches on the inside of the leaf. Make a harness. Tie a tail at the base of the leaf.
Cut the working thread using scissors and hide the tip from the wrong side.

Rose

We collect 40 VP.
Dc in the 4th loop from the hook, knit all loops with dc (36).
2VP, between the columns we insert a hook RLS, 5DC, repeat until the end of the row: RLS, 5DC, stretch the thread, cut off leaving a long tail. The last one should be RLS.
Roll the rosette in a spiral and sew using the remaining thread. Hide the remaining thread. The rose is ready.

How to decorate flowers?

We decorate with beads, beads and, if desired, tie a crawfish step of a different color along the petals.

One of the best ways is to place a bead or a beautiful button in the middle of the flower. For children's hats or hats, we recommend choosing buttons with a smiley face. It looks original and interesting, and can also be a subject for teaching with your baby when learning about the mouth, nose and colors.

A pompom in the middle of the flower also looks beautiful, for a voluminous middle.

How to knit leaves

As expected, green leaves also accompany the flowers. They make compositions more beautiful and picturesque. To knit leaves you need to take green yarn.

Step-by-step instruction:

Make a chain of 15 VPs. You can take more VPs - the length of the leaf will depend on their number.
Knit a row of sc.
Next, knit 4 sc and then dc, the last 4 stitches should also be single crochet.
The next row is 6 sc, then dc and the last 6 sc.
Repeat the same on the other side of the leaf.
If the leaves are larger, then you need to add the number of rows according to the same principle.

Pansies

We will need the following colors: blue, yellow and cyan.

Make a sliding ring and tie an air loop into it.

We knit 5 single crochets in a sliding loop. Pull the thread and tighten the ring. We connect using a connecting loop.

Change the yellow thread to blue and pull it through, leaving a long tail so that it can be easily hidden. Knit 1 chain stitch.

petal

Knit into the next base loop - 2 single crochets. 6 VP, in the next base loop - 2 RLS.

Repeat to make 5 petals.

We tie the finished petals like this: 1SBN, 1PS S1N, 7SS1N, 1PS S1N, SBN.

We repeat the binding in the same way, 2 and 3 petals, 3 petals in total.

We tie 2 petals with a dark blue thread.

We fasten the dark blue thread, 3VP for lifting, lay the thread inside, 1СБН, PS С1Н, 1СН, 1ВП, СС2Н (repeat 10 times what is highlighted in bold), СС1Н, PS С1Н, СБН.

Repeat tying the second petal. We tie the dark petals with a different color.

We tie it with single crochets, in each air loop.

Video with step-by-step explanations of how to knit a pansy flower: Another video option with a tutorial on knitting pansies:

Lush flower.

We knit a chain of air loops (VP) of the required length. I have 47 VP.

1 row. In each loop we knit 2 double crochets, separated by 1 chain stitch, and between the resulting V we knit 1 chain stitch.

2nd row. In each V we knit 4 double crochets, separating them with 3 chain stitches.

3rd row. In each arch of 3 air loops we knit 9-10 single crochet stitches.

Scheme.

This turns out to be a spiral like this.

Iron the resulting piece and fold it into a flower shape.

I crocheted with Iris threads No. 1.25.

The width of the strip is 2 cm 2 mm, the length along the inlaid edge is 25 cm. 47 petals.

How to tie orchids

We immediately want to cool down the ardor of beginners and train on simpler colors. Orchids in knitting are already at an intermediate level and above.

The difficulty is that there are a lot of petals and the thinner the thread, the more impressive and delicate the flower looks. This means that there will be a lot of rows for a voluminous and large flower; such flowers require 5 or more.

For knitting you will need: iris thread, hook 1 or thinner, scissors.

If you are a beginner but want to knit an orchid, we recommend using this method, which is shown in detail in the video:
