This time we are going to make a crocheted flower with spiral in the center.
The flower has 16 petals located in 2 levels and in the center there is a spiral element.
Start with a chain of 5 and join the chain in the round with a slip stitch.
Round 1: 1 chain up and in the round do 7 single crochets.
Finish the round with a slip stitch in the first chain stitch.
In round 2 we will make petals.
Start with 1 chain stitch up (to bring the high to the round), chain 5 (these 5 chain stitches are the foundation for the petal)...
...make 3 more chains up and continue to work into our 5 chain stitches, making 5 double crochets (Skip 3 chain stitches and work in the next one � the first chain of 5).
Connect the petal to the round with a single crochet into the next single crochet on previous round.
First petal is ready. Let�s make the second one together.
Second petal: chain 5, 3 chains up, skip 3 chain stitches and make 5 double crochets in the 5 chain stitches.
Connect the petal with a single crochet into the next stitch of previous round.
Continue the same till the end of the round.
As you can see we�ve already made 7 petals and now let�s do the last petal together.
Last petal: chain 5, 3 chains up, skip 3 chain stitches and work 5 double crochets in the next 5 chain stitches.
Connect the petal with a slip stitch into the first chain stitch of this round.
Second round is done. It has 8 long petals.
We are going to continue to make the third round of petals.
Round 3. First petal: 1 chain stitch up, chain 7 (foundation for the petal), 3 chains up and skip 3 chains and continue with 7 double crochets into the next 7 chain stitches.
Connect the petal making 1 single crochet into the next single crochet on previous round.
In previous round single crochets were worked in between the petals. The same will be here in round 3.
The only difference between round 2 and round 3 is the size of the petals. The petals on the third round are a little bit longer.
So... here is our single crochet.
First petal is ready!
Let�s continue with the second petal: chain 7, 3 chains up, then 7 double crochets into the 7 chain stitches.
Connect the petal with a single crochet into the single crochet on previous round.
Second petal is ready! Continue the same till the end of this round. In this round should be 8 petals as well.
Let�s finish the third round together. We have 1 more petals to go.
Last petal: chain 7, 3 chains up, then 7 double crochets into the 7 chain stitches.
Connect the petal and at the same time finish the round with a slip stitch into the first chain stitch of third round.
Our flower is ready. You can cut the yarn.
You see that the longer petals are behind the short ones.
Here is the back side.
Actually the flower like this already can be used in decoration.
I also made the same flower with thinner yarn. It is smaller but the same beautiful.
Now let me show you how to make this flower even more interesting with an additional spiral element.
Here I have 3 ready made flowers with the spiral in the center.
The spiral elements I made separately and then just stitched it to the center.
Here I made 3 spirals for my 3 flowers.
So let�s do the spiral together. It is very easy!
Spiral: Start with a slip knot and 11 chains...
...then make 4 chains up and in the first chain of 11 work 3 treble crochets (so you skip 4 chains and work in the next one).
Then in every next stitch make 4 treble crochets. Continue till the end of the row.
So totally in this row you would have 43 treble crochets.
Here we have last chain to make 4 treble crochets through.
Our spiral element is ready. We just need to fix it a little.
Stitch it to the center of the flower and your flower will look different.
