Beautiful crocheted flower motif lace pattern made up of interlocking floral hexagons, joined seamlessly to create a beautiful openwork fabric. Let’s break down the structure and explain how to crochet a piece in detail:
🌼 MOTIF STRUCTURE (Per Flower Motif)
Each motif is:
- Circular center with tight stitches (likely double crochet)
- Surrounded by 6 petal-shaped loops
- Each petal has elongated loops, likely formed with chains and double crochets
- The outer rounds form a hexagonal shape for easy joining
🧶 WHAT YOU NEED:
- Yarn: Fingering or sport weight cotton
- Hook: 2.5–3.0 mm
- Yarn needle for joining
- Scissors
✍️ HOW TO MAKE ONE MOTIF (Estimated Pattern)
🔹 Round 1: Center Circle
- Start with a magic ring, or ch 5 and sl st to form a ring
- Ch 3 (counts as DC), then make 11 more DCs into the ring (12 total)
- Join with sl st to the top of the starting ch-3
🔹 Round 2: Petal Foundations
- [Ch 5, skip 1 DC, SC in next DC] — repeat around (6 chain loops)
- You now have 6 arch spaces for petals
🔹 Round 3: Petals
In each ch-5 space:
- Work: (SC, HDC, 5 DC, HDC, SC)
- Repeat in all 6 spaces
- Join with sl st to the first SC
This gives a full flower with layered petals
🔹 Round 4: Outer Shaping for Joining
To make the hexagonal shape for joining:
- Ch 5, SC between petals, ch 5, SC in next petal gap — repeat
- On each corner, you may need to:
- Add a [DC, ch 2, DC] or similar corner structure for neat join
🔗 JOIN-AS-YOU-GO METHOD
- As you crochet Round 4 of each new motif, slip stitch into the matching chain spaces of the adjacent motif
- This avoids sewing and creates a clean, unified mesh
💡 DESIGN USES
