Crochet Flowers

Many years ago my grandmother taught me to crochet, and I have many examples throughout my home.  Now I thought I would make some little flowers for cards, as I see them everywhere and just love them.

Woo Hoo aren't they georgeous??? There are 3 singles of each colour and a double in each of the colours and a single silver ring in!!  These are being sent to Betty for the Fancy Folds Swap as a Hostie Gift.

The flowers are made with the following pattern.

Materials:

• Knitting yarn 5ply or Crochet Cotton 5ply
• Crochet Hook, size 2.5  or 3
• Yarn needle
• Assorted beads

Instructions:

Bottom layer or single flowers:
Chain 5, slip stitch to join. Ch 2, make 15 double crochet in the ring, slip stitch to join.

*Single crochet into the next stitch.  Make 6 double crochet in the next stitch .(petal formed). Miss one stitch and then repeat from * to make a total of 5 petals, slip stitch to join, and fasten off.

Top layer for double flowers or single flowers:
Chain 2, make 5 single crochet in the 2nd stitch from the hook, slip stitch to join. In the next stitch, make *1 single crochet, 3 double crochet, 1 single crochet, (petal formed). Repeat from * to make a total of 5 petals, slip stitch to join and fasten off. 

Stack the top layer over the bottom layer, and sew together. Sew a cluster of beads of your choice in the center.
