Complete Guide to Crocheting a Beautiful Flower with Black and Red Yarn

You’ll Need:

Yarn: Paton Astra in Black;

Yarn: Paton Astra in Cardinal;

Crochet Hook: 2.75 mm;

Tapestry Needle.

Instructions

Centre

The centre of the flower is worked in joined rounds, and then the petals are worked individually in turned rows (i.e., work petal one first, then work petal two, etc.).

Start in black. Chains do not count as a stitch.

Rnd 1: Work 6 sc into a MR (6 sts), pull tight, join, ch 1.

Rnd 2: Starting in the same st, (2 sc) in each st around (12 sts), join with red yarn, ch 2.

Petals

The rest of the pattern is worked in red yarn (feel free to cut your black yarn now). You will work the first petal by working in the next 3 sts only before turning and chaining.

Row 1: Starting in the same st, (2 dc) in each of the next 3 sts (6 sts), ch 2, turn.

Row 2: (2 hdc) in each st across (12 sts), ch 1, turn.

Row 3: Slst in each st across (12 sts), ch 1, work 3 slsts down the side of the petal.

Start the next petal by repeating Rows 1-3 of the petal in the next 3 sts and so on for the last 2 petals. At the end of the fourth petal, slst to the joining st of round 2 of the black centre. Tie off and weave in yarn tails.

Position the petals such that petals 1 and 3 are to the front, overlapping on top of petals 2 and 4 (i.e., opposite petals to the front).
