Materials
Front
- Cotton thread size #40 (in red and green)
- Steel Crochet Hooks in sizes 0.6mm.
- All purpose clear adhesive.
Pattern notes
In this e-book I first show a pattern diagram, and then the
instructions in American Standard Terms (You can see con-
version table for British terms at the end of the e-book). Af-
ter that you’ll find photo guides for how to make the branch.
I’ve created a page in my Blog where I updated a list of rec-

ommended tested threads - see here.
This flower is quite small, so I used a larger thread for the

photo guides, as its quite difficult get clear photos with
thread size #40 :)
* If you have problem finding the material needed, don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll do
my best to help.
* I apologize for including copyright notices on diagrams - I have recently found too many cases of
my patterns being shared, hopefully this will help. Thank you for understanding!

The core base is made in 2 rows, first a chain row
of 58 chains, and then, working in the chains
heading back, crochet the second row - mak-
ing 18 2-st dc inc with a 2 chain bridge between
each dc.

After the core base is finished, we move on to

crochet the leafs and bracts, working each inside

Leaf Instructions
The mini Poinsettia has 6 leaves, each leaf is crocheted
separately (but all in one continuous work). Each leaf is
worked in a each 2 chains bridge of the core base.
The leafs are made in rows (zig-zag), and include a non-

standard motion borrowed from Tunisian crochet. One

we keep adding loops on the hook - and in the next row,

Crocheting the Leaf and Bracts

All Leaves and Bracts are crocheted one by
one in one continuous work.
Each element is worked in a zig-zag motion,

row by row, and incorporate a technique
similar to Tunisian crochet.
This photo guide will go through the leaf and

2 bracts, and show you how to crochet each
one, starting with the leaf.
I’m using a larger thread so it will be easier to Step 1 - Start the leaf with 5 chains up,

Rolling the blossom

When rolling the blossom you need to keep
attention to the relative positioning of the
petals to each other. You’d to achieve 4 lay-
ers, starting rolling from inside outwards,
with the top/inner layer being bract #3, the
next bract #2, followed by a layer of bract #1
and lastly, a layer of the green Leaves.
To roll, simply apply clear adhesive to the

base core, and roll starting from bract 4.
IMPORTANT: prior to rolling, iron the blossom.
Make sure you start rolling in the correct side,
See photos. as one side will make an open blossom (what we
want), and the other side will make a closed one.
Step 1 - Apply glue to the core base Step 2 - Start rolling, starting with a full roll made
of just the 2 bract #3, and then another round made
of Bract #2.
Step 3 - Continue to roll, making the next round of Step 4 - finish the blossom by rolling the last layer
bract #1, applying a bit of pressure to the middle (so of leaves. Press and arrange to fix (if needed) posi-
