This beautiful crochet project appears to be a floral round motif with petal-like extensions, often used for doilies, table mats, or decorative pieces.
🧶 Materials:
- Yarn in yellow, light yellow, grey, and white
- Crochet hook (size recommended for your yarn)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
🌼 Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Center Circle (Yellow Puff Stitch Flower Center)
- Start with a magic ring (or chain 5 and join to form a circle).
- Round 1:
Chain 3 (counts as first part of puff), then make puff stitches into the ring:
[Yarn over, insert hook into ring, pull up a loop] x 3, pull through all loops on hook, chain 1 to close puff.
Repeat puff stitches for a total of 12 puffs, join with a slip stitch.
2️⃣ Grey Round (Petal Base Foundation)
- Round 2: Attach grey yarn.
In between puff stitches, chain 2, then make clusters of 3 double crochets separated by chain spaces, creating small arches around the center.
Repeat all the way around, join with a slip stitch.
3️⃣ Yellow & Light Yellow Petal Clusters
- Round 3: Work groups of clusters in alternating yellow and light yellow yarn.
In each chain space, do:
3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets, chain 1
Alternate colors for each petal section (as shown).
4️⃣ Outer Yellow Petal Shaping
- Round 4: Using darker yellow, in each chain space:
Work (3 double crochet, chain 2, 3 double crochet) to form pointed petals.
Continue this around the entire motif.
5️⃣ White Connecting Chains (Raised Spokes)
- Round 5: Join white yarn anywhere between the petals.
Chain long enough to reach the center space (approx. 10-12 chains, depending on your tension), attach with a slip stitch into center space between petals.
Repeat to form spokes connecting outer petals to the center.
Finish by working single crochet or slip stitches along the edges for a neat finish.
