I knit these flowers for the Swan Lake napkin, but they can also serve as a decoration for anything.
By the way, using other threads, for example, white ones, you can sew small daisies or chrysanthemums. You can decorate clothes, toys, and the interior; the flowers are universal, 5-7 centimeters in diameter, depending on the threads.
For my water lily I took:
yellow acrylic yarn (a little, for the middles)
large skein of soft pink threads with glitter
hook No. 2 (suitable size for yarn). taken from https://www.site
The water lily consists of 3 layers (“cups”) or individual “daisies” of different sizes.
The first, smallest one, is knitted starting with 8 single crochets and then 8 petals are knitted according to the pattern. 1 petal for the flower in each single crochet, the transition between which is carried out using a connecting stitch. There is no need to tighten the ring right away, because... you will need to pass the thread of the top layer through it. taken from https://www.site
The second stage is the middle “cup” of the flower. Amigurumi ring with 9 single crochets and then 9 petals according to the pattern. taken from https://www.site
The third stage is a large “cup” for the water lily. Amigurumi ring with alternating double crochets and chain stitches according to the pattern, making 10 petals in total. taken from https://www.site
The fourth stage is the middle for the water lily. Amigurumi ring, 1 chain stitch and repeat 6 times *single crochet (SC) and chain stitch*, then a connecting stitch in the first of 6 SC. Immediately tighten the ring tightly. taken from https://www.site
Final stage - water lily assembly.
It turns out 3 “daisies”, one larger than the other and a yellow center. taken from https://www.site
We pass the ends of the middle into the ring of the small “cup” and tighten the ring thoroughly. If you cannot center the center by thread tension, you can make a couple of stitches with a needle to secure the center in the desired position.
We place the resulting center on the middle “cup”, also passing the ends of the threads into the ring and tightening it.
We carry out a similar action with the last large part. taken from https://www.site
If there is not enough rigidity in the fastening, secure with a couple of stitches of thread.
The petals curl slightly at the ends and may not have a symmetrical shape, but can easily be adjusted by hand.
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 three-dimensional 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 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 knit 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 knit 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 more tightly (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 - such that it fits tightly inside the flowerpot. Then tie 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.
Using the same principle, pointed LEAVES are knitted. 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.
Olga Klishevskaya, especially for the site
I came across a design for such a napkin with a lily pattern a long time ago in a magazine. When knitting this napkin, I used white Iris threads and a No. 1.5 hook. The importance of lilies in ancient times was great. It is not without reason that the lily symbolizes purity and tenderness. At the same time, the lily is delightfully beautiful. The history of lilies dates back to ancient times. The first known facts are known from Ancient Greece and Egypt.
The napkin will look great under a vase or on a coffee table. There are eight lilies on the napkin, separated by small lilies.
Description of the napkin “White Lilies”:
I knit a chain of six air loops and connect them using one connecting stitch into a ring. Then I make one chain stitch instead of one single crochet and knit another fifteen single crochets in the round. I finish the row with one connecting stitch in the first loop of the beginning. After completing the row, I continue knitting according to the pattern posted here. If necessary, I make connecting posts before starting the next circular row.
After completing the third circular row, I break the thread and start knitting again from arrow A and knit until the eighth circular row. Then I start knitting from arrow B and then knit according to the given pattern.
I stretch the finished napkin, grabbing each chain of air loops separately and pressing them.
