How to Tunisian crochet a Flower Pattern
If you're looking for a new and exciting way to create beautiful
crochet flowers, try your hand at
Tunisian crochet. This technique uses a longer crochet hook and combines elements of both
crochet and
knitting. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to Tunisian crochet a
flower pattern that you can use to add a decorative touch to any project.
Materials You'll Need:
- Worsted weight yarn in your choice of color(s)
- Tunisian crochet hook (size will depend on your yarn weight)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: To begin your flower, make a slip knot and chain 4 stitches. Insert your Tunisian crochet hook into the second chain from the hook and pull up a loop. Continue this process in each chain until you have 4 loops on your hook.
Step 2: To start the second row, yarn over and pull through the first loop on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through 2 loops on your hook. Repeat this process until you have one loop left on your hook.
Step 3: To start the third row, insert your hook under the two vertical bars at the end of the previous row. Pull up a loop and repeat the process across the row until you have 4 loops on your hook.
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 to complete the third row.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until your flower has reached the desired size. For a larger flower, continue adding rows; for a smaller flower, stop sooner.
Step 6: To finish your flower, cut the yarn leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through a tapestry needle and weave it through each stitch on the final row. Pull the tail tight to close the center of the flower. Secure the tail and weave in any remaining ends with your tapestry needle.
Step 7: Add any additional embellishments to your flower, such as a button or a decorative border. Get creative and make it your own!Congratulations, you've now Tunisian crocheted a beautiful flower
pattern that you can use to add a decorative touch to any project. With these simple steps, you can create flowers in all different colors and sizes to suit your needs.Happy crocheting!
