Click For Crochet Abbreviations List
Even if you are new to crochet or have just learned the basic loops, you can create the most original thing: a pillow or a rug or a napkin using the “Flowering” technique. Just watch this detailed photo workshop.
We need to start by creating a circle: we collect 6 air loops and join them into a ring. Raise 3 air loops, and then knit the heart of the flower: 15 simple columns.
Next row: in each column of the first row we knit 2 double crochets. Total get a circle of 30 loops.
Now we add the second color, we leave the tip of the thread hanging from the inside, then we will hide all the tips, tying them together. We knit (only in the upper front, front part of the loop, and not between the posts) - 3 columns, then skip one loop of the previous row, and in the next we knit 5 double crochets! So the first petal of our flower will turn out, and all of them will be 6.
Now we need to add the third color. And here it is important, did you understand that the second color, the petals it was necessary to knit it in the front part of the eyelet of the first row. If yes, then everything is fine, the back thread of this loop is free. It is in it that we will provyazyvat third color.
We knit a series of double crochets: 3 new columns for 2 columns of the previous row. Those. through one we add a new column. Otherwise, all knitting will be bent and turned into a pipe.
Now the repetition: we make the petals of the third color in the same way as we did the second: three columns, a blank, 5 double crochets in 1 loop. 9 petals will turn out.
Then - the next color, in the back wall we knit a row of double crochets, 1 in 1, i.e. not increasing the number of loops. And a series of petals, now there will be 9 too.
That ended the main cycle, and then you can continue as long as necessary for your model. The main thing to remember is that through a row of petals it is necessary to increase the number of loops by 15 — such a scheme. So, the fourth color will be 60 loops, the fifth - also 60, and the sixth and seventh - 75, and the eighth and ninth - 90, and so on.
You can use such flowering blanks for cushions, for chairs or garden tables, such as rugs or wall decorations, in general, as fantasy commands.
