Dual Layered Flower Applique

This pattern was first published on my Tumblr account as I didn't have a Blogger account yet.

Key:

Ch = Chain
St= Slip Stich
Sc=Single Crochet
HDC= Half Double Crochet
DC= Double Crochet
TR= Treble Crochet


Start:


Foundation Chain: Chain 11 and join 11th chain to 1st with a slip stitch

Round 1: Chain 9 and sc into 2nd chain from hook. Chain 10 and sc into 3rd chain. Alternate 9 and 10 chains all around making 10 “petal” loops. Five 9-chain or “short” loops and five 10-chain or “long” loops.

Round 2: sc *2 hdc 3 dc 3 tr ch 1 3 tr 3 dc 2 hdc sc st into central loop of the first “short” loop then, sc into main central loop, then sc onto first “long” petal loop, 2 hdc 3 dc 4 tr ch1 4 tr 3 dc 2 hdc sc, sc into main central loop, then sc into next “short” petal loop. Repeat from * all the way around until end of last petal loop. Sc into central loop once more then connect to first sc of first petal loop using st and tie off to switch color if desired.

Round 3: Ch 2, then in the space under the first petal loop, where it connects to the foundation chain, 3 hdc, ch1 and 3 hdc in the next space of the next petal all the way around and connect to the 2nd chain loop with a st.

Round 4: Ch 1. starting at the first sc of the first petal loop, *sc along the ed ge of the petals until reaching the ch1 space. Hdc, dc, hdc in the space, then sc along the remaining loops of the petal. When you get to the sc between the petal loops, sc into it, ch 3 then sc into it again before moving onto next petal and sc along until getting to the ch1 space. Hdc, dc, 2 tr, dc, hdc in the space, then sc along the petal until the next sc space, sc in the space, ch 3, sc and repeat from * all the way around. Attach to the first sc in round with a st and tie off to switch colors.

Round 5: Sc into any of the ch three loops to attach new color, 2hdc in that loop, 3hdc in the next loop and continue all the way around and connect last hdc to 3rd ch loop with st and tie off.

Finish: Using a yarn needle, weave in the ends and then tack, or sew, the “long” petals together all the way around, making sure they are up,then do the same for the “short” petals making sure they are down.

Notes: If there are any questions or confusions don’t hesitate to ask and I will try to get back as soon as possible.
---Note Edit: If you're coming from Ravelry and find difficulty with the pattern, comment here or message me on Ravelry. It'll notify me of it much faster than if I'm checking the sticky notes on the pattern page, which I didn't know existed until recently.

Crochet Patterns of Crochet Creature

Hello! I figured to put in the first post as a sort of place holder as well as very short introduction.

Here you will find a collection of my published crochet patterns. Currently there are not that many but that number will no doubt grow.

I am also on Ravelry.
