Crochet Flower

Mrs.Purls asked me about the crochet flowers I used to embellish the blanket. I found the pattern in Crochet for Dummies (seriously). Here's the pattern:

One Color Flower

Center Ring: Leaving a 6in. length, ch 6 and join intoa ring with 1 sl st in first ch.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 15 sc in ring, sl st in first sc to join.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, *sc in each sc, ch 3, skip next 2 sc*, rep from * to* around, sl st in first sc to join (5 ch-3 loops made)

Rnd 3: Sl st in first ch-3 loop, ch 1, (sc hdc, 3dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-3 loop around (5 petals made), sl st in first sc to join

Rnd 4: * Ch 4, skip next 6 stst, sl st in next sc *, rep from * to * around (5 ch-4 loops made).

Rnd 5: Sl st in first ch-4 loop, ch 1, (sc, hdc, 2dc, tr, 2dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-4 loop around (5 petals made), sl st in first sc to join.

Rnd 6: * Ch 5, skip next 8 st, sl st in next sc *, rep from * to * around (5 ch-5 loops made).

Rnd7: Sl st in first ch-5 loop, ch 1, (sc, hdc, 2 dc, 3 tr, 2 dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-5 loop around (5 petals made), sl st in
first sc to join. Fasten off.

To make a two toned flower, work the stitches the same as the one color flower. Work the center ring and round 1 in the first color. Fasten off the first color and joing the second color. WOrk rounds 2-5 in the second color. Fasten off and join the first color ( or another color) to work rounds 6-7.

Enjoy!
