Step-by-step to make Crochet Skyflake

This is not crocheted with stitches 😊
It’s a hand-made yarn loop flower with pearls, often used for appliqués, accessories, or decorations.

Below is a clear step-by-step tutorial to make exactly this flower.

MATERIALS (VERY IMPORTANT)

1. Yarn
   • Soft yarn (milk cotton / acrylic / velvet yarn)
   • Not too thick, not too thin
   • Color: white (or any color you like)
2. Pearls
   • 1 big pearl (8–10 mm) → flower center
   • 18 small pearls (4–5 mm) → 3 pearls × 6 petals
3. Needle
   • Thin needle that can pass through small pearls
4. Thread
   • Strong sewing thread or nylon thread (transparent is best)
5. Scissors
6. Glue or lighter (optional, for securing knots)

SIZE GUIDE

• Finished flower: 6–7 cm
• Petals: 6
• Each petal loop length: about 3–3.5 cm

---

STEP 1: CUT & PREPARE YARN

1. Cut one long yarn about 60 cm
2. Fold it in half to find the center
3. This long yarn will make all 6 petals

👉 Do NOT cut separate pieces for each petal.

---

STEP 2: MAKE THE FIRST PETAL LOOP

1. Hold yarn about 3 cm from the center
2. Bend yarn to make a loop
3. Pinch the base of the loop with fingers
4. Twist the loop one time so it stays rounded

📌 The twist helps the petal keep its shape.

---

STEP 3: MAKE ALL 6 PETALS

Repeat this carefully:

1. Measure the same length as the first loop
2. Make another loop
3. Pinch and twist at the base
4. Keep holding all loops together

✔ Make 6 equal loops
✔ Arrange them in a circle like a flower

👉 Take your time here — even loops = beautiful flower.

---

STEP 4: TIE THE FLOWER BASE

1. Bring yarn ends to the back
2. Tie 2 tight knots
3. Adjust petals so they spread evenly

Now you should see:

• A round flower
• 6 soft yarn loops

---

STEP 5: SEW THE PETALS (VERY IMPORTANT)

This step makes the flower strong and neat.

1. Thread needle with strong thread
2. Insert needle from the back of the flower
3. Sew through the base of one petal
4. Go through the base of the next petal
5. Continue sewing around all 6 petals
6. Pull thread tight
7. Knot firmly at the back

👉 This locks the shape forever.

---

STEP 6: ADD THE CENTER PEARL

1. Bring needle up through the center front
2. Insert 1 large pearl
3. Push needle back down through center
4. Sew back up and down 2–3 times
5. Pull tight
6. Knot securely at the back

📌 The pearl should sit firmly, not loose.

---

STEP 7: ADD PEARLS TO PETAL TIPS (VERY DETAILED)

Each petal has 3 small pearls.

For ONE petal:

1. Bring needle out near the tip of the loop
2. Thread 3 small pearls
3. Lay pearls along the outer edge
4. Insert needle back close to where it came out
5. Pull tight so pearls sit together

📌 Pearls must sit:

• Outside the loop
• Not inside the petal

Repeat for all 6 petals.

Total pearls used here = 18

STEP 8: FINAL FIXING

1. Check all pearls are tight
2. Add a tiny drop of glue on knots (optional)
3. Cut extra thread
4. Shape petals gently with fingers

COMMON MISTAKES & TIPS

✔ Loops uneven → measure carefully
✔ Pearl loose → sew twice
✔ Flower twisting → sew petal bases tighter
✔ Yarn fuzzy → trim gently (do NOT pull)
