Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base Ring

  1. Start with a slipknot.
  2. Chain 4 stitches.
  3. Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.

Step 2: Crochet Single Crochets into the Ring

  1. Into the center of the ring, make 6 single crochets:
    • Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
  2. Make sure you are going into the center of the ring, not through any stitches.
  3. Slip stitch into the first single crochet to close the round. This will complete Round 1.

Step 3: Crochet the Puff Stitch Petals

  1. Create the First Petal:
    • Chain 2.
    • Start making a puff stitch in the same stitch:
      • Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop to match the height of the chain 2.
      • Repeat this process 5 more times (total = 6 times).
      • You should have 13 loops on the hook.
      • Yarn over and pull through all 13 loops on the hook.
    • Chain 3.
    • Slip stitch into the next stitch, making the slip stitch tight.
  2. Continue Adding More Petals:
    • Chain 2, then repeat the puff stitch process into the next stitch.
    • Chain 3, and slip stitch into the next single crochet.
    • Complete a total of 6 petals, one in each stitch of the base round.

Step 4: Complete the Flower

  1. After finishing the 6th petal, slip stitch into the fake stitch created by the slip stitch from Round 1.
  2. Snip the yarn and pull it through to secure.

Step 5: Add the Bead and Attach the Hair Tie

Sew on the Bead:

  1. Take the yarn tail, thread a small bead through it (using a tiny crochet hook or yarn needle).
  2. Position the bead in the center of the flower by inserting the yarn tail through the opposing petal’s base.

Attach the Hair Tie:

  1. Insert the remaining yarn tail into the base of the flower and chain 3 or 4, depending on the width of your hair tie.
  2. Wrap the chain around the hair tie and secure it by slip stitching the chain to the back of the flower.

Weave in the Ends:

  1. Weave in any loose ends for a neat finish.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  1. Use Scrap Yarn: The project is perfect for using small amounts of leftover yarn.
  2. Experiment with Colors: While the tutor matched her yarn to her hair color, you can use any combination to make vibrant or subtle designs.
  3. Choose Different Beads: Small accents like beads can add personality to the design.
  4. Relax and Take Your Time: Beginners are encouraged to go at their own pace and practice the puff stitch technique.
