Small Flower Pattern


I create crochet flower pattern! This is very easy and I hope crochet beginners enjoy to make the flower๐Ÿ’• I'll create earrings using the small flowers๐Ÿ˜Š
I used two different types of yarn, but of course you can make it using one colour/type of yarn!

Sample Size: 3 cm (about 1.5")
Crochet Hook: JP 4.0 (US D-3 or E-4)
Yarn: Pink : Soufflรจ (Olympus/made in Japan/100% cotton/25g)
          Gray: Silk Bamboo (70% viscose from bamboo, 30% silk/made in China)



Direction:

Begin w/ sliding loop
Round1: ch1, then 10sc into the sliding loop, sl st into the first sc, then pool loop through.
Round2: ch1, 2hdc into second sc in the first round, ch3, 2hdc into second sc in the Round 1, ch1, then sl st into third sc in the the Round 1. this is the order to make one petal. You need to repeat this until you make five petals. After you make all petals, sl st into sl st you did the first of Round 2.
* If you want to change the colour, do it after you finish Round 1.



I hope everyone enjoys it ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

Exploring a knitting yarn store

I found a great knitting yarn store in downtown Toronto.

The store is called "EweKnit and Craft" that located at near Ossington station. They have a lot of nice yarns (mainly wool) and also have some other craft materials. The yarn price range is about $8.00 - over $50.00, so they are a bit expensive, but the store have a small sale and I got yarn with 20% discount ๐Ÿ˜Š

I got new yarn named ROWAN panama and this is great for Spring and Summer items :)
The yarn details are below:

- Contents 55% Viscose, 33% Cotton, and 12% Linen
- Country of origin Italy
- Length 135m (50g)
- Price $9.20 (original price was $11.50)

I'd never gotten yarn made in Italy and I'm excited to think a new crochet pattern, but I need to finish my another stole using bamboo & silk yarn!!๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’จ

I also try to create easy crochet flower pattern sharing to every one๐Ÿ’•
Don't miss it๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’›

My first crochet work for spring season is the "Small Rose Ornament Scarf".
Small rose decorations make the scarf very pretty :)

Crochet Hook: 3.0

Small rose is easy to make for any levels of crochet lovers, so I draw PATTERN!
I also write the instruction below:

Row 2: ch 1, sc 1 in next st, ch 3 skip 2 stitch, sc 1 next st. (Repeat it until the end of the row)
Row 3: ch 2, hdc 1, dc 2, hdc 2 across 3 ch stitch. hdc 2, dc 2, hdc 2 across next 3 ch st and repeat it until the end of the row. Sl st 1 in next st
Finish: roll the rose and sew the bottom using the same yarn!

I hope everyone enjoys crochet!!
