Todays project is from a few years ago and I came across the picture Alex took in old picture files so here it is. This is a super easy little project which started out as something completely different. I had hoped to crochet about a hundred of these little flowers to put together as a bed spread for the girls room…maybe someday. As a face scrubby they work up in about 5 to 10 minutes and work really nice to replace disposable paper or cotton alternatives.
Hook size H or I
Worsted weight cotton yarn
With the center color yarn make a magic ring (google it and you will find a bunch of tutorials. Once you know how to do this you can use it for so many crochet projects)
Round 1: Chain 3 (does not count as a double crochet) crochet 20 dc in ring, slip stitch to first dc to join.
Round 2: switch to yarn color for petals, Chain 1, 1 sc in each st around, join to first sc.
Round 3: Chain 1, sc in same stitch. *skip next stitch, 7 dc in next stitch, skip next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat between * and * 4 more times, 5 petals total. Join to first sc, weave in ends.
These make really cute hair jewelry and I have always wanted to add them as pockets to a baby’s dress.
