Crocheting is not always the embodiment of clothing for the whole family - it is also about creating comfort in your own home. Every needlewoman has at least once thought about knitting artificial flowers - they will always remain bright and airy, but there is no care for them. Moreover, every needlewoman ends up with a lot of leftover yarn, which takes up a lot of space in cabinets and storage boxes. To get rid of leftovers with benefit, you can resort to crocheting a whole bouquet of flowers. The article presents crocheting flowers, patterns and descriptions for free.

Crochet roses

Crocheted roses seem difficult to make only at first glance. In fact, their knitting turns out to be the simplest and most promising - in a short time, literally in a few hours, you can create a whole bouquet. This is also a great opportunity to please your loved ones with a bouquet of flowers, especially in winter and on an unplanned visit.

So, to crochet roses you will need the following materials and tools:

• red and green yarn;
• hook of a suitable number;
• small diameter wire;
• double sided tape.

Crocheting roses occurs in the following sequence:

1. Select a rosebud knitting pattern. Here you can use a simplified knitting pattern in the form of a long strip, which is then twisted and folded into the shape of a bud. This type of knitting requires sewing up the base of the formed bud.
2. The second option for crocheting a rosebud involves crocheting each petal separately - this is not difficult, but painstaking. After knitting the required number of petals, they are simply collected into a bud and tied at the base with wire or thread.
   
3. Having chosen a pattern, make a bud. Sew the base or tie it with wire. It is easier to collect individual petals on a base - this can already be a wire stem with a cotton or thread tip. The tip should be completely covered with petals.
4. Next, tie the sepals according to the presented pattern. Of course, now you should use green thread.
5. In the same way, using the diagram presented above, tie the leaves. Beginners do not need to start knitting a whole shoot with leaves - it is enough to knit from 3 to 7 leaves, which depends on the length of the main stem. When knitting leaves, leave the long end of the thread at the base.
6. If you used the first method of knitting a bud - knitting a strip folded into a bud - insert a wire in the middle intended to form a stem. Place the sepal on the bud and wrap the second piece of wire around the bud from below - this will form a peduncle.
   
7. Use double-sided tape - wrap the stem with tape, capturing the peduncle. As you wind, attach the leaves, grasping their base by 5-7 mm, wrap the stem with a piece of thread from the leaves and also secure with tape.
8. From the sepal to the end of the stem, carefully and evenly, without leaving gaps, wrap the wire and tape with green thread.
9. Make several roses in a similar way and arrange them in a bouquet.

Several other variations can be made in this manner. Some needlewomen prefer to simply place such bouquets in vases. The second wants to make a bush, resorting to using a simple flower pot, having previously installed roses in pieces of foam plastic. Still others crochet pots separately to complete the composition. The following is a selection of ready-made compositions of different variations and a video with a master class for beginners in knitting.

Knitted peonies

Peonies are knitted similarly to roses. Here you should also use the diagram presented below and tie the bud. Next, a peduncle is formed with wire or thread. To knit leaves, you can use the above pattern. A stem is made from wire in the same way and leaves are attached.

Tied peonies often form a simple bouquet of flowers that looks great in a long, narrow glass vase. A master class on knitting peonies is offered in the video.

Knitted daffodils

After crocheting the simplest flowers, you can begin to implement the most complex ones, namely crocheting daffodils. You can connect them in the same sequence as presented above, with the exception of using other patterns and threads.

So, start knitting daffodils in the following sequence:

1. Start knitting from the whisk - use pattern 1 in the picture below. The color of the corolla can be different - white, yellow, brown or even black.
2. Attach a yellow or brown thread to the base of the corolla and continue knitting the core according to pattern 2.
3. Attach a yellow, orange or white thread to the base of the core to knit the petals of the buds - use pattern 4.
4. To finish knitting the bud, you should attach a green thread to the base and knit the cup according to pattern 3. The cup can be knitted separately, and then attached to the bud.

Stems and leaves are knitted in the sequence presented earlier. The only difference here is the shape of the leaves - to match, they are knitted according to the suggested pattern in the picture.

Irises

Craftswomen are attracted to knitted irises, which are also formed into bouquets and placed in vases. There are two ways to knit irises.

First way

The first method involves knitting the bud petals in a more airy way. Here we resort to the scheme presented below.

Otherwise, the technique of forming a flower is no different from others. So, after knitting the required number of petals, they begin to form a bud - you will need to connect the petals and attach them to a wire, which also acts as a stem. This stem may have a base at the tip - it is either knitted or formed by winding thread or cotton wool (it should be painted with diluted paint). The leaves can be knitted according to the pattern that was used for knitting daffodil leaves.

Second way

The second method offers denser petals and “massive” buds; two schemes are used here.

The first pattern is intended for knitting the lower petals of the bud - the detailed technique is presented in the photo. A schematic interpretation of the proposed knitting is also given - the numbers in the diagram indicate the number of single crochets.

The second pattern is knitting more wavy petals - the upper ones. It also offers complete instructions and the sequence in the photo, as well as a diagram of the number of single crochets for each row.

Both types of petals are assembled as shown in the picture; the formation of the stem occurs using the same technique as before.

Tie several irises and put them in a vase - they will look attractive in any interior.

Tulips

“Yellow tulips, oooh!” - this phrase and melody arises every time we talk about these beautiful spring messengers. They can be connected using 2 methods - simpler or more complex.

Easy way

In a simple method, a tulip bud is a cup knitted with single crochets, which is stuffed with cotton wool and sewn up in a certain way. In order not to read the descriptions for a long time, it is enough to simply offer photos that represent the craftswomen - their fruits of crochet needlework.

In a similar way, many tulips are knitted, which are later collected into bouquets - it is better to put them in a basket, because such a composition represents a spring sketch.

Second way

The second method involves knitting the bud petals separately. So, to begin with, they begin to knit the inner petals in the amount of 3 pieces according to the pattern, the pattern of which is proposed - it also contains symbols.

Next, they begin to knit individual petals. First you need to knit the petals of the second layer - for this they use a cone-shaped shape. Then 2-3 petals of a more rounded shape are knitted - they will be the outer and final ones.

All petals are collected together on a wire for the stem. Next, they continue to form the flower in the same sequence as the previous flowers - do not forget about the leaves, which can be presented in the form of simple double crochets.

Crocheted flowers always mean spring in the house and a spring mood in the soul. Make the atmosphere in the room cozy - place tied flowers on the windowsill and admire the spring landscape.

Volumetric flowers

Crocheted flowers with beautiful curling petals are made according to the same knitting principle. Different patterns of knitting the petals result in each flower being beautiful in its own way.
The knitting pattern for these flowers begins with knitting the base of the flower and is approximately the same for everyone.

For example, consider a flower with openwork petals:

To start knitting a flower, cast on a chain of 6 chain stitches and close it into a ring with a connecting stitch.

Then knit 16 or 18 double crochets into the ring according to the flower knitting pattern. Next, you begin to knit the backbone of the flower in the form of a circle, alternating chains of air loops and double crochets. First, cast on the required number of lifting loops, which corresponds to the height of the double crochets to be knitted. Then *knit a chain of chain stitches according to the pattern and knit a stitch with the required number of yarn overs, inserting the hook through one loop of the previous row, then repeat from *.

So the base of the flower is ready and we begin to knit the petals on it: we tie the 1st row of double crochets with a chain and the next double crochet.

Then we turn the work and tie the 2nd and 3rd row of petals back and forth according to the pattern. Having finished the 3rd row, secure the petal by knitting a connecting post into the next loop of the initial ring, so that the petal does not puff up.

Next, knit the 4th row and the final 5th row with a decorative stitch, alternating between a connecting and an air loop. Finish the decorative binding at the beginning of the next chain; on the wrong side, use connecting posts to go to the beginning of the chain and begin knitting the next petal.

Thus, knit all the petals according to the chosen pattern.

If you end the last row of petal binding at its top, move to the beginning of the next chain, knitting connecting stitches, inserting the hook into the back half-loop from the wrong side.

If you stopped at the initial ring, proceed to the beginning of knitting the next petal, knitting a double stitch from the wrong side along the edge stitches of the previous rows.

When tying each petal, do not forget to secure it to the initial ring with a connecting post.

In order to avoid gaps between the petals, take into account the width of the petal trim; the wider the petal, the smaller their number and vice versa.

To ensure that the petals do not rise and the flower turns out flat, in each subsequent row of tying the petal, make the required number of additions of loops.

The edge trim looks decorative by alternating 1 connecting post, 1 air loop.

Crochet miniature flowers

Knitting flowers is a very exciting and enjoyable activity, and each flower is sure to have a use, as a decoration for a blouse, handbag, hat or a surprise for a friend. Here is a collection of small miniature crocheted flowers with detailed descriptions and knitting patterns.

Flower with multi-layered petals.

Description of crochet flower:

At the beginning of knitting, we form the initial ring from the thread and knit into the ring 1st row:*Art. b/n, half-column, repeat 5 times, then tighten the ring well and secure the end of the thread. 2nd row: we knit arches for the first row of petals, for this we knit *c.b/n for a column in the first row, an arch of 3 air loops, repeat also 5 times, end the row with a connecting loop in the first table. 3rd row: From each arch, knit a half-stitch, 3 double stitches, a half-stitch, and between the arches make a double stitch. 4th row: we knit arches for the next row of petals from 5 air loops, securing them by knitting a st b/n for the leg of a st. b/n of the previous row (like a raised concave st b/n). 5th row we knit petals from the arches by knitting a half-stitch, 5 treble stitches, a half-stitch stitch, between the arches. Next, knit according to the pattern, increasing the number of loops in the arches and tying them with a large number of s/n stitches.

Crochet flower pattern:

It is worth noting that the use of different types of yarn has its own effect when knitting a flower. For example, from a thin woolen thread we get a fluffy soft flower; when knitting flowers from cotton, the clear contours of the petals stand out, and mercerized cotton adds extra shine.

Description of knitting flowers:

In the initial ring, knit 3 chain stitches and 19 double crochets, then pull the ring and fasten the thread, make a connecting loop in the 3rd chain stitch. lifting loop. Then cut and fasten the thread for knitting the second row or make 2 air. loops and then start knitting 2nd row, knitting again *in the initial ring st. non-cash, arch of 4 air loops, st. b/n into the initial ring through 4 columns of the first row, repeat 5 times, finish the row with a connecting loop in the first column. 3rd row: knit the petals by knitting from the arches a half-column, 5 treble s/n, half-column, st b/n between the arches. 4th row: we knit arches from 5 air loops, securing from art. b/n per leg art. b/n of the previous row. 5th row: we knit petals from arches: half-column, 9 sts, half-column, sts between the arches.

Crochet flower pattern:

Knitted flowers acquire a complete look with additional decoration with a leaf, curl, or bead.

In this flower model, the number of petals increases, and fasten each next row of arches with a st. b/n for the previous arches evenly adding one more arch.

Work 5 stitches into the starting ring. b/n, through one air loop, pull the ring, make a connecting loop in the first column and knit the petals: *3 air. loops, 2 tbsp from air. loops of the previous row, 3 air. loops, connecting loop in the next column, repeat from * 5 times. In the last row we make the binding with st b/n, 4 air. loops, st. s/n at the top of the petal, dc at the base (you can tie it with a thread of a different color).

Miniature small flowers look beautiful in large quantities from different shades of yarn.

Knit 3 chain stitches into the starting ring. lifting loops instead of 1st st. s/n, 2 air. loops, then knit 5 treble stitches, through 2 air loops, pull the ring and make a connecting stitch in the 3rd lifting loop. Next, knit the petals from the arches: *3 chain stitches, 2 chain stitches, 3 chain stitches, secure them with a connecting loop, then knit a connecting stitch from the next arch and repeat from* to the end of the row.

Volumetric crochet flower.

Make 5 air loops and close them into a ring, from the ring knit a st. b/n, *dial 10 air. loops, st b/n. into a ring, then tie an arch of 10 loops with the 10th st. Having finished tying, turn the work and knit the next sc into the initial ring, while the resulting petal will twist a little. Then repeat from* 5 more times. Having finished the first row of petals, knit arches from 14 air loops, securing them with sts between the previous petals, and in the next row, tie the formed arches.

Sew on the flowers, decorating the core with a bead.

Flowers with separated petals.

With this detailed master class you will be able to crochet an incredibly beautiful three-dimensional flower. The diagram and description of all stages of knitting are done in great detail, so even if you are still completely new to knitting, you will definitely succeed.

Tools and materials Time: 1 hour Difficulty: 2/10

• knitting threads (thickness depends on the desired size of the flower, but usually thin threads like “Iris” or “Chamomile” are used). Green color is for the leaf. For the flower itself - to your taste: red, yellow, pink, burgundy, etc. Knitted flowers are good because they can be knitted not from large balls, but from leftover yarn that will no longer be used for large items;
• scissors;
• Crochet hook;
• sewing threads to match the color of the flower and leaves - for stitching;
• sewing needle to suit the size of sewing thread.

Important: select the hook so that the knitting is quite tight.

Knitted flowers themselves usually do not appear anywhere. Perhaps in the form of a brooch or earrings. Often they serve as decoration for another product (hoop, hair band, bookmark). If you knit several three-dimensional flowers of different colors and then combine them, you can get magnificent and original necklaces or bracelets. Knitted flowers are also often used as elements of the famous Irish lace. Flowers can be collected in a large bouquet or made into a composition of crocheted flowers in a pot. There are many options - all you need is your imagination.

In the meantime, we suggest you master the basics - one of the options for a voluminous knitted flower with a diagram and description. In this case, it will be a pretty rose with green leaves.

In this instruction we will knit a rose with 26 petals. You can subsequently increase or decrease the total number of petals, reducing or lengthening the initial chain accordingly. But this requires experience and an understanding of how these petals are knitted.

Step by step description

Step 1: knitting a flower

For a 26-petal rose, you first need to knit a regular chain of air loops 52 loops long:

Now we begin to knit the stitches. Tie 3 chain loops to rise, then double crochet in the 4th loop of the chain, then 1 chain crochet, then *dc+chain loop+dc* in the same loop. You will get an “inverted triangle”. Repeat the construction in *-* until the end of the chain.

Next row. 3 air loops for lifting. Then double crochet, then 3 chain stitches, then 2 more double crochets. This is knitted into the upper jumper of the triangle. Next, in the next jumper you knit the design **2 double crochets+2 chain stitches+2 double crochets**. Next, repeat the **-** construction into each jumper of the inverted triangle of the previous row.

As a result, you should get a twisted openwork braid, which you should now sew in a circle with threads at the base.

The flower is ready.

Step 2: Knitting leaves

Take green threads and knit 5 chain stitches.

Row 1: 1 single crochet on the rise and 1 single crochet in the next stitch. Work a half double crochet into the next stitch, and a double crochet into the next stitch. Knit 2 half-columns into the last loop. Then 2 air loops, then - in the second loop from the hook - a single crochet, then - 2 half-columns. From the same - already reverse - side - further knit a double crochet, then a half double crochet, then a single crochet. At the end, make a connecting column with the beginning of this row. Cut the thread, but leave 20 centimeters on it.

Do the same in all other holes in the center sequentially. You will get a leaf with a vein.

Now the thread can be cut off completely, and its end can be hidden.

You can make as many leaves as you like for your charming rose. In this case, 3-4 leaves will look optimal and realistic.

Sew the finished leaves to the base of the flower.

A voluminous crochet flower, the diagram and description of which is given above, can have many interesting applications. Place your rose on a large paper clip to create a beautiful bookmark. Sew it to a regular hair tie and you will get a beautiful decoration. Place a flower on a pin and you have a brooch for a dress, coat or hat.

Knit several roses and sew them onto a strip of fabric - you will get a charming necklace or a cute bracelet. Place flowers on earrings and get exquisite knitted earrings. Knitted roses can also be used to decorate a scarf, sweater, gloves and even suede boots.

Roses made from very thin threads can be used for scrapbooking or decorating a dress (including a child’s one).

Good afternoon, today I want to show you how you can create flowers with your own hands using the crochet technique. I have collected in this article the simplest and most understandable lessons crochet flowers. Today we will crochet lilies, daisies, poppies, pansies, orchids, and I have also prepared an article on crocheting roses (blooming and in buds). I will show you the knitting method narrow petals, I’ll give you the diagrams branches with oval petals, I'll tell you how to tie voluminous flower with multi-layered petals and much more. I address this article not only to advanced masters, but also to beginners in this matter. So I will explain as detailed and clear as possible even for the most novice crafter.

Here I will consider several ways to create flowers crochet A in . But before I start giving diagrams, descriptions, and instructions - I want Make you fall in LOVE with this idea. I want you to understand how beautiful crocheted flowers can be. I want to show what opportunities will open up for you when you realize that you can crochet any flower and even from a photograph (without a diagram or description) understand what technique it is crocheted in.

So, let's see what prospects the ability to crochet a variety of flowers opens up for you.

FOR WHAT PURPOSES are flowers knitted?

(which can be decorated with crocheted flowers)

Knitted flowers can be used as table decorations.

They can be simply placed in the center of each plate (as in the left photo below) or decorated with a crocheted flower on a napkin ring (right photo below),

Knitted small flowers can decorate a greeting card (naturally, the size of the threads and hook must be chosen smaller) so that the made flower is the right size for our greeting card. You can also use such knitted flowers decorate gift packaging– tie with a lace and glue a crocheted flower on top.

Your first knitting projects in the simplest colors can be used as a bookmark for the book you are reading.

Knitted flowers can be used as decorative elements for knitted jewelry. For example, in the photo below we see wide crocheted bracelets decorated with flowers of various sizes and colors.

Once you understand how easy it is to crochet a flower, you will be able to believe in your ability to crochet these bracelets.

Crocheted flowers can decorate a handmade bag (as in the photo below).

And if you knit flowers with small crochet and thin threads, you get jewelry-quality work and such flowers can be used as part crocheted jewelry.

The ability to crochet flowers can also be useful when decorating a wedding. You can make something like this from knitted flowers voluminous flower heart(as in the photo below).

Also The wedding bouquet can be crocheted. This is a good alternative to fresh flowers. A bouquet that will never wither and will always be kept by the one who catches it in flight.

Can be done crochet gift bouquets with your own hands for family and friends.

Knitted voluminous flowers are used as decoration on hats and caps for girls.

I liked the idea of ​​decorating not only hats with crocheted flowers, but also caps with a visor. A beautiful bright headdress for a gentle girl.

You can also find a use for the colors you have associated in your home decor. For example, decorate sofa cushions with them.

Or you can make this educational mat for your child (or a seat cover for a stool).

You can place knitted flowers in a frame in the form volumetric elegant panel painting. And decorate the living room with them. Here are a few photographs below that illustrate this idea in the most convincing way.

Well, now that you have already seen the full potential of the beauty of crocheted flowers, let's begin our work and create your first crocheted flower. We will start with the easiest flowers to make, and then we will make more complex patterns.

So, the simplest crochet petal flower.

HOW TO CONNECT

THE SIMPLE FLOWER

(for beginners)

The simplest flower scheme is this is the MIDDLE(a ring of air loops tied with posts) + PETALS(alternating low and high columns).

That is, to make the petal look like a SEMI-CIRCULAR SHAPE, we knit low stitches along the edges of the petal, and high double crochets in the middle of the petal.

Often in a simple flower the PETALS look like double crochets knitted SEVEN PIECES AT A TIME in one chain stitch of the bottom row (as in the photo below). The end of each petal is a connecting stitch (similar to a single crochet, but with the entire stitch instantly knitted into one loop).

Having learned to knit a FLOWER using THIS PATTERN, you can use this skill to create cute little things for your daughters or nephews. For example, like these knitted sandals for children.

And if we want there to be a HOLE in the middle of each petal... then the petal row needs to start as a SERIES OF ARCHES OF AIR LOOPS connected around the middle circle. (In the diagram below, this hole-forming row is highlighted in red).

This principle is a ROUND MIDDLE + PETAL of high and low columns laid as the BASIS ALL PETAL FLOWERS. And each new crochet flower pattern is a slightly more complicated version of this principle common to all flowers.

In the photo below we have the same principle of tying a flower, but slightly modified (there are teeth added along the edges of the petals). One additional detail to the GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF THE SCHEME - and we get a flower of a different shape.

VOLUME FLOWER crochet

(how to knit multi-layered flowers)

Many crochet flowers have more than one layer of petals - when larger petals peek out from under smaller ones.

In the photo below we see an example of such a voluminous multi-tiered flower.

(front view + rear view)

Here I am attaching a MASTER CLASS with step-by-step photographs. From this lesson you can see exactly how such circular layers of petals are created. Every layer-tier of petals knitted with threads of different colors so that it is obvious how and what needs to be done to knit a three-dimensional flower.

And now that we understand the basic principles of knitting a simple flower, let's begin to COMPLICATE THE TASK. And let's look at the flowers more interestingly.

Crochet PANSIES.

Simple description

Knitting will be possible for beginners Pansy flower (see photo below).

It is also knitted simply - a round center made of chains (tied with connecting posts). And the petals - with high columns of several crochets.

This flower has knitting in 3 stages.

The first stage is creating the middle (yellow chain, tie with connecting posts). Then tying the middle with dark purple...

Second stage - 2 purple petals are knitted (first 2 arches of air loops - in the upper part of the core) And then over each of the two arches we build up the petal itself (stitches with two crochets on the sides and three crochets in the center of the petal).

Third stage - knit three light petals - usually like other petals (the main thing is to divide the middle circle itself INTO THREE EQUAL PARTS - and tie each part in the shape of a petal.

Pansies can be tied and according to a different scheme - like in the photo below.

Or you can come up with your own design and crochet this flower. (examples in the photo below).

The next simplest flower is the daffodil.

How to tie flowers

crochet daffodils.

In the photo below we see the principle by which the daffodil flower is connected. Knit here first yellow (or orange) CUP... and then petals form from the BOTTOM of this middle.

Each petal is columns with different numbers of crochets... along the edges of the petal there are single crochets - and the closer to the center, the more crochets on the column. And in the very center of the petal there is ONE AIR loop (so that the petal has a sharp corner).

For example, a description of knitting such a petal may look like this - connecting post + st. single crochet + tbsp. double crochet + tbsp. with two double crochets + tbsp. with three yarn overs + one air + st. with three double crochets + tbsp. with two double crochets + tbsp. with one crochet + tbsp. single crochet + connecting stitch. That is, first we go by increasing the number of yarn overs - and after the center of the petal we go by decreasing the number of yarn overs in the column. And we get a pointed, oblong narcissus petal. (from the left photo below).

What if we want to tie daffodils? from the right picture in the photo above, then the description of knitting a petal will look like this:

FIRST HALF OF A PETAL(let's go up)

connecting post + 2 air (for lifting) + st. double crochet + tbsp. with 2 double crochets + tbsp. with 3 double crochets + tbsp. with 4 yarn overs + 2 air stitches (for a tiny corner at the top of the petal)…

SECOND HALF OF THE PETAL(we are going downhill, so it’s the same alternation, but in reverse order)

Art. with 4 double crochets + tbsp. with 3 double crochets + tbsp. with 2 double crochets + treble crochet + connecting

Very funny idea give someone a bouquet of live daffodils, among which voluminous knitted flowers are unobtrusively lost - I think the recipient will not immediately notice that not all flowers are made by the hands of nature.

How to crochet

FLOWERS LILY OF THE LILY

And since we have learned how to knit a central cup for daffodils, we can also knit a bouquet of lilies of the valley - the cups of lily of the valley flowers are knitted in exactly the same way as the cups inside the daffodil. We also knit in the round... and add so many loops so that our circle is not flat, but wrapped in a deep cup.

All that remains is to link wide leaf of lily of the valley. Below in the photo I attach a pattern for knitting a lily of the valley leaf.

And here is another pattern for knitting a lily of the valley flower . Already with a large number of rows in the flower cup, because the threads are thin and the hook size is smaller. But the principle is clear from the photo, without any diagrams - we knit a flower cup and along the edge of the cup we knit small ARCHES OF LACE to create a ruffled border along the edge of the flower(The EDGE is knitted according to the same petal principle of increasing and decreasing yarn overs).

How to tie flowers

WITH NARROW PETALS.

In the diagram below we see the principle by which flowers with fringed petals are created. Each petal of such a knitted flower is chain of air loops UP and descent from the connecting posts ACROSS THIS CHAIN ​​DOWN to the middle of the flower.

Chamomile petals They are knitted according to the same principle - only each petal is a double passage of stitches - two rows on each side of the petal.

And as can be seen on photographed master class– the petals are not knitted around the already finished center. But simply into a chain of air loops - AND ONLY THEN this chain is folded into a circle and the petals move apart in a circle like rays.

You yourself can choose the SHAPE of the PETALS, decide how many of these petals should be around the middle, independently determine the LENGTH of the petal...

In any case, you will get a cute daisy... and there is no need to be afraid, that you are knitting differently than in the pattern. You are your own master– try it yourself and see what happens. More petals mean they fit tighter (picture 2 below). Fewer petals means there will be a distance between them (picture 1 photo below).

And when you learn how to crochet daisies, you can then turn them into elegant coasters - simply by tying them in a circle in a contrasting green color (as in the photo below).

Or you can crochet a flowerpot with daisies. Buy a small flower pot, sew a small volumetric pillow so that it fits tightly inside the flowerpot. Then tie together daisies and green branches and sew them on top of the pillow stuck in the pot. For greater heaviness and stability, you can pour sand into the pillow (a weighted flowerpot will not fall).

They knit according to the same “chamomile” principle. lily petals. Just the beginning of knitting NOT FLAT MIDDLE, and the volumetric middle in the shape of a cup. And then petals are tied around this cup like a chamomile. And we get a lily as in the photo below.

Knitted flowers

WITH WIDE PETALS.

Flowers with wide petals include poppies and orchids. Let's look at how to knit such flowers.

In the photo below you can see that first THREE petals are knitted around the black center. And then the hook goes under them and the NEXT THREE petals are knitted on the back side of the flower (so that they look out from behind the first petals).

But it can be done poppies with flat petals in one row. Like in this photo below (it will still be beautiful).

You can make the petals climbed on top of each other. This overlap of petals on top of each other happens on its own - because each new petal begins its knitting from the middle. First, the middle (central part) of the petal is knitted, and then its edges are knitted around this middle. And that’s why the edges stick out by themselves - overlapping with the neighboring petal. The diagram below shows how such a flower is knitted.

And here is a pattern for knitting wide petals of an orchid flower.

Here are larger white orchid flowers from the photo above.

If you don't have a pattern, but want to knit the right flower, then you need to start with a PAPER PATTERN. First, we cut out the petals of the desired shape from paper, then we fold them into a paper flower. And if we like the image of this flower - its size and proportions of the petals relative to each other - then we can start knitting.

The orchid in the photo above has 2 lower petals and the central petals are simple ovals (the diagram is in our article).

But the two side petals have the shape of “ears”. They knit easily. You need to look at the photo carefully and then you will understand how the master's hand moves, where is the beginning of mating? where is the continuation, and what does he do at the final stage.

The ear petal is knitted in 3 steps.

1 step (red)- a straight chain of air loops (there is a red line in the picture - I counted 12 air loops in a row)

Step 2 (light green)- around this chain, single crochets are knitted in a circle to make an even oval (in the picture there is a light green line of rows). At the point where our oval turns, we knit 2 stitches into one stitch of the bottom row (there is a diagram of the oval in this article).

Step 3 (green)- now you need the EARS to grow on the left and right of the even oval... that is, the expansion of the orchid petals. First we knit the “lower ear” - see how the dark green line goes to the bottom - and how it zigzags to the left, increasing the rows of this ear to the right.

And then we go upstairs and knit the upper ear - with the same zigzag arrangement of rows...

Finally, we tie the entire petal in a circle so that it has a smooth edge.

RUSH METHOD

For knitting flowers.

If you knit a simple circle - but add in each row a large number of loops...then ours the circle will begin to wrinkle and worry- and we will get a round frilled flower. Like, for example, the voluminous poppy flower in the photo below. It does not have individual petals. This is just a circle - which itself has twisted into waves, due to the excessive addition of columns in each row.

Try it yourself - it's easy any number of columns- for example, three stitches in each loop of the previous row... or four (so that the wave is steeper)... or five stitches in each loop (so that the wave spins very tightly). Here in the photo below is an example of a poppy with a slight waviness on the petals.

Or you can make the waviness of the petals VERY STRONG. According to this principle of strong twisting, waves are knitted voluminous Clove flowers...

First, a wrinkled wavy circle is knitted. Then another circle. And maybe one more. And then these circles are folded together (not on top of each other, but next to each other) - into a wrinkled bunch with the edges UP. This sponge bundle is stuffed inside the sepal - the green calyx of the inflorescence. And it turns out to be a crocheted carnation flower.

FLOWERS CROCHET

with OVAL petals

You can still learn crochet ovals. And then we will be able to knit flowers with oval petals and leaves. For example, these knitted ones tulips or crocuses, or water lilies.

For such oval-petaled flowers, you need to learn how to crochet an oval. It is knitted simply - according to this pattern. The beginning of the diagram is the central row - a chain of air balloons and the first row of columns on it.

That is, first we knit the CENTRAL ROW of the oval... and then the knitting goes in a circle - around this central row.

If we want our oval to NARROW on one side, and on the other side it EXPANDED - then we can knit fewer stitches on the turn on one edge - and more stitches on the other edge of the oval.

This is how it is shown in the diagram below.

Pointed LEAVES are knitted using the same principle. Let's look at crocheting leaves. Let's look at a master class on knitting a heart-shaped petal.

LEAVES FOR FLOWERS CROCHET

(master class and diagrams for beginners)

Below I am attaching a photo tutorial for crocheting a sharp leaf (it is suitable for lilacs, roses and other crocheted flowers).

Knitting this leaf starts from the center (like the oval) - the row should have an arched shape, so we start knitting with low stitches (single crochet) and in the middle of the row we knit high stitches (with 2 and 3 crochets).

Or such a sharp heart-shaped leaf can be knitted in a circle... that is, first we make a ring of balloons. And then in a circle we alternate single crochets (in the lower part of the leaf) and stitches with a large number of crochets (in the elongated part of the leaf. And then in a circle we make a tie around the entire leaf (to create a green edge-edge.

And below is a diagram of a clover leaf.

I also collected photographs of leaves of different shapes... where you can see exactly how they are knitted.

The master class below shows how to create one of the complex crocheted leaves.

Here are some ideas for crocheting flowers and leaves. I hope the master classes and patterns posted here will help you understand and feel that crocheting flowers with your own hands is simple, it’s quick, and there’s so much room for imagination.

Fall in love with this idea... Come up with a hat with flowers for your daughter, booties with flowers for your granddaughter. Create something warm and beautiful for your loved ones. And may everything work out for you.

For everyone who loves beauty and knows how to hold a crochet and thread in their hands, and is also just learning to knit, flowers are one of their favorite topics. They can be very diverse: complex, simple, large and small, but the result undoubtedly pleases everyone.

Crocheted flowers will not leave anyone indifferent. And there are never many of them. Therefore, here are some more ideas and master classes.

Basic techniques for crocheting flowers

Knitted flowers can become an independent composition, as well as decorate clothes and accessories (for example, you can decorate a bag, jacket, headband, hair band), shoes, interior, gifts and much more, adding charm and originality.

To knit flowers you need a very small amount of thread - leftovers from knitting are perfect. And depending on the size of the hook and the thickness of the threads, texture, colors, you can create different flowers even according to the same pattern.

The hook for crocheting flowers should be selected in accordance with the thickness of the threads. If the threads are thin, then use the appropriate hook. Well, vice versa. But if you want a looser texture, use a thicker hook.

You can also experiment with patterns. For example, if in the petal pattern there is a single crochet, you can try doing 2 or 3 crochets, getting wider petals, or vice versa: knitting with single crochets. And we don’t limit ourselves to this: we try to change the number of petals in a flower, the number of layers, etc., obtaining the desired shapes and sizes.

If you evaluate crocheting flowers in general terms, then the work comes down to knitting the core of the flower and knitting the petals. And if you make the core of the flower empty, you can make a beautiful frame, for example, for buttons. So, experiment and have fun with it.
