🌼 CROCHET FLOWER MESH STRIP – FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL
This pattern is made of tiny 4-petal flowers, worked one by one, and joined as you go to create the zig-zag layout.
⭐ PART 1 — Make 1 Basic Flower
1. Make center
- Ch 5, join with sl st to make a ring.
2. Petal (repeat 4 times)
Inside the ring:
(Ch 3, 3 dc, ch 3, sl st in ring)
You now have 4 petals, a small square flower.
⭐ PART 2 — Make the 2nd Flower & Join It
1. Make the ring
- Ch 5, join to form ring.
2. Petal 1
Work normally:
Ch 3, 3 dc, ch 3, sl st in ring.
3. Petal 2 (JOIN PETAL)
This petal connects to the first flower.
Do this:
Ch 3
Dc 1 into ring
Sl st into side of one petal of previous flower (join point)
Dc 2 into ring
Ch 3
Sl st into ring
4. Petals 3 & 4
Work normally (same as petal 1).
Now you have 2 flowers connected.
⭐ PART 3 — Make a Row of Flowers (Row 1)
Repeat the same steps to attach more flowers side-to-side.
Each new flower:
- Petal 1 = normal
- Petal 2 = join to previous flower
- Petal 3 & 4 = normal
This makes a straight row of little flowers.
⭐ PART 4 — Start Row 2 (the zig-zag pattern)
This is where your photo shows the offset / staggered layout.
To add a flower between 2 flowers of Row 1:
New Flower Position
It must attach with 2 petals:
- one to the flower on the left
- one to the flower on the right
Steps
1. Make ring
- Ch 5, join.
2. Petal 1
Normal petal.
3. Petal 2 — JOIN to upper left flower
Ch 3
Dc 1
Sl st into left flower side
Dc 2
Ch 3
Sl st into ring
4. Petal 3 — JOIN to upper right flower
Same joining method:
Ch 3
Dc 1
Sl st into right flower side
Dc 2
Ch 3
Sl st to ring
5. Petal 4
Normal.
⭐ PART 5 — Continue Row 2
Each flower of row 2:
- 1st petal = normal
- 2nd petal = join to flower above-left
- 3rd petal = join to flower above-right
- 4th petal = normal
Follow this pattern until the end of the strip.
Your crochet now looks EXACTLY like the image.
⭐ PART 6 — Start Row 3
Row 3 works exactly like Row 2 but shifted:
Each flower joins:
- petal 2 → to row 2 flower on the left
- petal 3 → to row 2 flower on the right
This creates the mesh of diamonds.
⭐ TROUBLESHOOTING / TIPS
🔸 Where to join?
Join into the side chain space of the petal:
Insert your hook into:
- The side of the petal, not the top
- Usually into the side ch-3 space
🔸 Why does mine twist?
Keep tension soft and block lightly.
🔸 How to keep alignment straight?
Make sure each new flower joins to two flowers above, not one.
