3D Flower Tutorial

3D Flower Tutorial from a scribbled down pattern when I was learning to crochet. DK yarn on a 4mm hook. UK terms.

Foundation:
4ch and join with a SS in a circle.

Round 1:
5Ch (counts as 1tr and 2ch) Now [1tr into the ring then 2ch] 4 times, SS into the 3rd chain of the beginning 5Ch. You should have 6 spaces in your 'wheel'

Round 2:
1 Ch, 4dc into each space on the wheel, SS into the first dc to complete the wheel.

Round 3:
1Ch, working behind the post/stem/treble below do [1dc round post then 2 ch] 5 times, 2Ch, SS into the first dc. You should have 6 raised spaces.

 

 

Round 4:
1Ch, [1dc, 1ch, 1tr, 1dtr, 1tr, 1ch, 1dc] into each raised space.

 

Round 5:
2Ch, working behind the stitches of the previous row. [1dc into the base of the petal, 2 ch] 5 times.
2Ch, SS into the first dc. You should have six spaces.

 

 

Round 6:
1ch, [1dc, 1ch, 2tr, 1dtr, 2tr, 1ch, 1dc] into each raised space. ss into the first dc.

 

Fasten off. All finished!

Add a button to the centre recess if you like.

You can add another layer if you want a bigger flower. If you do this flower with chunky wool it is pretty robust. Hope you can follow these instructions, any problems leave a comment and I will try my best to help you out.
