this tutorial
will demonstrate two ways
on how to add additional
flower petal rounds
i am using an h crochet hook
for this demonstration
you can use other size crochet hooks to create this tutorial
now we will start
with a chain of five
and then join
join
chain one
round one will be ten single crochet
through the center of the loop
and i am going right through the center of the loop, i am not picking up the
chains or anything
and it's going right through the center of the loop
and i am also crocheting over the tail
which saves me some time
and sewing it in at the end
join with the beginning single crochet
chain one
single crochet in the same space
chain three
Skip
one single crochet
single crochet in the next
chain three
Skip
one single crochet
single crochet in the next
we've completed two chain three loops, we will have five total
chain three
Skip
and single crochet
single crochet in the next
chain three
skip a single crochet
single crochet in the next
we have four loops
chain three
now we'll do a slip stitch
in the beginning single crochet
you have a total of five
loops
now round three will be a chain one
6
double crochet
in the chain three space
and when you see the instructions
to crochet in the next space
this is what you will do next
we will do u six double crochet in the next space, which is this chain three
space right here
but they're a lot of variations of what a space is
3
4
5
6
chained one
now i'm going to slip stitch in the previous single crochet
chained one
six double crochet in the next change three space
theres 2
3
4
5
6
chain one
slip stitch
in the next single crochet
we've completed two petals
three more to go
6
double crochet next chain three space
theres three

6
chain one
and slip stitch in the beginning
single crochet
we've completed the first set of
petals with round three
now for round four
we want to ad
more chains so we can add another set of petals
now we want to create another set of petals
so what i'm going to do is a back post single crochet around round two
which will be around the single crochet right here
i'm going to take my hook
and wrap it around
to the right at this stitch
over the front into the back
i'm just going to make
a single crochet just like this
we want the petals to stand a little higher than the previous row
so i'm going to chain five
and do a back post
single crochet around the next
single crochet
on round two
and will have five
chain five loops
around round two ... 1.... 2
3
4 ... 5
3 .. 4 ... 5
and i found the easiest way to do this is to pinch the two
petals together like this
and then just go round the post of the stitch like that
you can see here it is putting our loops on the back side
now slip stitch
in the beginning single crochet
i have completed another flower in a different color
i wanna show how you will change colors if you want to do a different color
and what you will do is just slip stitch
around
this post here
once you complete the slip stitch
you'll do the back post
single crochet
chain five
back post
single crochet
back post
single crochet
chain five
backpost single crochet
chain five
backpost single crochet
chain five
backpost single crochet
chain five
slip stitch
in the beginning single crochet
this is what it looks like
this is the front
you can see the little colore
we have added right here
this is both flowers from the front
this is what they look like on the back
that completes round four
round five will be a chain one
double crochet
in the next space
which is the chain five space or changed five loop
theres 3
4
5
6
7
8
9
chain one
slip stitch
in the next single crochet
this is the second set of petals
this by our will be the same
with the chain
and nine double crochet
and it's easy to substitute triple crochet if you prefer to make your
pedtals a little bit longer
you can also substitute
triple crochet
theres 9
chain one
slip stitch
in the next
single crochet
this is the petals for around five
this second petal what triple crochet look like
compared to double crochet
this is what you would do if you want to do triple crochet instead
i still just do the chained one
and then nine
triple crochet
and the chain one actually curves the edges and pulls it down here
little round of look that i like for flowers
and that's why i still do the chain one
theres three
4
5
6
7
8
chain one
slip stitch
in the next
single crochet
so this shows
one petal with double crochet
these two petals have
triple crochet
you can modify your flowers
however you want to
there are many ways to modify your petals
sometimes i will do
i will mix the stitches
maybe do
three double crochet
and then three
triple crochet
and then three double crochet
chain one
slip stitch
in the beginning single crochet
you can see the difference
that alternating stitches makes this gives it a little more of a point
you can do that throughout any of these
rounds
if you want flowers with more of a point
or more of a rounded edge
it all depends on how you mix and match your stitches
now on occasion i may want my petals to be staggered which means i want the
petal to be right here
so what i do with that
i have
9
stitches right here
so i flip this over
and i slip stitch
over to the center
and it doesn't have to be perfect
it can be on either side of the center
stitch
i'm just slip stitching over here
so i could ever close
and then
i'm going to put my hook through the stitches and around the chain
and do a single crochet
chain five
and then single crochet over here in the center of the next petal
just like this
chain five
and if you find five is not enough you can chain six or seven
modify it how you want to modify it
into a single crochet over in the center of the next petal
chain five
single crochet in the center
chain five
single crochet
the center of the next petal
chain five
and slip stitch
in the beginning
and this is what it looks like on the back side
this is the front
now this is what we do if we want to do the same thing with the multi-colored
flower
we will just
attach
the new color yarn here in the center of the petal
now chain one
and single crochet
and you can see
little bits of the color on the front and that's ok
chain
chain five
single crochet in the center of the next petal
chain five
and single crochet
in the center of the next petal
chain five
single crochet in the center of the next petal
chain five
single crocheting a center of the next petal
chain five
slip stitch
at the beginning
now i'm going to chain one
and do
four double crochet
three triple crochet
that second triple crochet
now the third
and four
double crochet
chain one
slip stitch
in the single crochet
here you can see how
we have
a petal
in the center here staggered
now we'll chain one
and do eleven
double crochet
theres 6
now chain one
slip stitch
in the single crochet
so this is what we have with this flower
now i'll be finishing up round 7
of the green flower
with four double crochet
theres 2
3 .... 4
three triple crochet
four double crochet
for a total of eleven stitches
on each petal
and chain one
slip stitch
i have three more petals to make on this flower
now round seven on this flower
will be a chain one
and eleven
double crochet
theres 9
10
and 11
chain one
slip stitch in the single crochet
and theres what this one looks like and i have three more petals to complete
on this flower
with eleven double crochet
i have finished up both flowers
and i'm cutting the
yarn on this last one
this is what they look like
this is how you sew in the tails
just weave
tapestry needle
between the threads just like
and then i like to go back
opposite direction just kind of to secure it
would cut off the extra yarn
do that with all of them
cut off the extra tail
