I created the crochet pattern for the blue 5-petal flower that I attached on The Dazzles after some

requests from readers. And that was weeks ago, I have a tough time writing the crochet pattern as it involved 2 layers on the petals, front and rear, and they then join-up by single crochet the outer row along the petal. I want to make sure that my instruction is clear for you all to understand. So. in order to make it easier to understand, I photographed and showed some of the easy-to-get-confuse instructions in pictures Crochet Pattern: 5-Petal Flower

Stuff small amount of poly-fill into the petals before completely join-up both layer. Repeat 4 times for the other 4 petals. Decoration Sew some rhinestones and beads onto the petals to decorate it. Sew the elastic band and attach the brooch pin at the back of the flower to make it into hairband-brooch combo. Note: The yarn I am using is woven type acrylic fiber which has a little elasticity and will not fray, you can try other yarn to create a different style on it. not fray, you can try other yarn to create a different style on it.

Get ready to crochet the petal.

Make 16 chains follow the pattern to crochet row 2 until you reach flo instruction.

flo Front loop only.This is the single crochet of the front-loop-only of the center ring. I used the front loop for layer 1, and reserved the back-loop for the layer 2 of the petal.

This is 1 layer of 5 petals and I am ready to make the second layer by using another loop of the stitch.

This is the rear side of the 1st layer. See the loop that I reserved (yellow pointer), now I am going to use this loop to crochet the layer 2 of the petal.

Completed first petal that has 2 layers rest until you have all 5 petals for layer 2.

Continue to crochet the

Time to join-up both layer with single crochet the outer row along the petal.

Stuff some small amount of poly-fill to make the flower a little filling to add dimension to it. Continue to crochet until you reach the end of the petal, move on to the next petal. Skip the stitch that crocheted on the center ring.

Now you have completed the bare 5-petal flower, you can decorate it with beads and rhinestones to glamorize it (like the blue one I have made). Attach an elastic hairband and a brooch pin at the rear side of the flower by hot glue, and the flower is ready to charm your apparel. Have fun making one today!!!!
