Great! Here’s a detailed step-by-step tutorial for making this crochet flower motif exactly like the one in this image, including stitch counts and loop structure.
🌸 Crochet Flower Motif — Step-by-Step Detailed Instructions
🧶 Supplies:
- Yarn colors: White (for the center), Blue (for the petals)
- Hook: Size 2.0 mm – 3.5 mm (depending on your yarn)
- Scissors, yarn needle
🔹 Step 1: White Center – Foundation Circle
- Start with a Magic Ring, or ch 4 and sl st to the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc),
- Make 11 dc into the ring (total 12 dc including starting ch-3),
- Sl st into top of ch-3 to close the round.
🔸 [12 double crochets total]
🔹 Step 2: Increase Round
- Round 2:
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc),
- Make 1 more dc in the same stitch (2 dc in each stitch around),
- Repeat: 2 dc in each dc from the previous round (total: 24 dc),
- Sl st to join.
🔸 [24 double crochets]
🔹 Step 3: Loop Base Preparation
- Round 3 (form base for petals):
- Ch 1,
- Sc in next stitch, ch 3, skip 1 stitch — repeat around,
- Join with sl st into the first sc.
🔸 [You will have 12 ch-3 spaces]
🔷 Step 4: Create Blue Petal Loops
- Change to Blue Yarn
- Attach blue yarn in any ch-3 space.
- Round 4 (creating petal loops):
- Sc into ch-3 space,
ch 6,
sc into same space (first loop),
ch 6,
sc into same space again (second loop) — repeat in each ch-3 space. - Sl st into the first sc to finish the round.
- Sc into ch-3 space,
🔸 [Each petal has 2 loops; you’ll get 12 petals with 24 loops total]
🔷 Optional Round 5 (Make Loops Thicker — Optional)
If you want the petal loops to look thicker:
- Work sc stitches around each loop:
- Sc around the first loop (about 10-12 sc),
sl st in center sc,
repeat for second loop.
- Sc around the first loop (about 10-12 sc),
✅ Finishing:
- Fasten off the yarn.
- Weave in ends using a yarn needle.
- Gently block the motif to shape the petals evenly.
