This is a gorgeous crochet flower lace motif pattern, made by joining individual floral motifs together. Iโll guide you through how to make one of these motifs and how to join them.

๐ธ Crochet Open Petal Flower Motif Tutorial
๐งถ What Youโll Need:
- Fine crochet cotton thread (#10 or #20)
- 1.25 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
๐ Instructions:
๐ผ Round 1: Center Circle
- Magic ring
- Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc)
- Work 11 double crochet (dc) into the ring (total 12 dc with chain 3)
- Slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3
- Pull tight to close the center

๐ธ Round 2: Petal Bases
- Chain 5 (counts as 1 dc + chain 2)
- Skip next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch, chain 2
- Repeat around โ you should have 12 chain-2 spaces
- Slip stitch to the 3rd chain of starting chain 5
๐ธ Round 3: Form Petals
Into each chain-2 space:
- (1 sc, 1 hdc, 6 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc)
- Repeat this in each chain-2 space to create 12 petals
- Slip stitch to the first sc to join

๐ธ Round 4: Outer Petal Detail
To create the open teardrop look:
- Slip stitch into the next 3 stitches (to reach petal tip)
- Chain 6
- Slip stitch into the same stitch (petal tip)
- Slip stitch down the petal, then slip stitch into the center of the space between petals
- Repeat around
๐ฟ Optional: Joining Motifs
- On the final round of petals, when making chain loops, you can join motifs by slip stitching into the corresponding chain loop of an adjacent motif before continuing the chain
- This connects the motifs cleanly as seen in your image

โ Done!
You now have a beautiful lace flower motif. Make multiple motifs and join them as you go for table runners, doilies, or even a scarf.
