How to crochet pansy flowers: patterns

In the practice of many knitters, it is often necessary to make flowers. They are used to decorate a variety of objects and things: from hats or baby booties to curtains for the kitchen.

A separate place in the list of colors that can be made from yarn is occupied by pansies crocheted. Schemes for their implementation will be proposed in this article.

Feature of knitting flowers

The specific structure of these floral motifs does not provide for the presence of such a large number of petals, as, for example, in a rose. Knitted pansies consist of only five elements, but their interesting arrangement and colors turn these little flowers into a favorite decor of many craftswomen.

Even with little experience, you can master the principle of their manufacture and get full crocheted pansies. Knitting patterns for two color options are listed below. Both options suggest arranging the petals in two layers. The first contains small elements, and the second contains larger elements.

Making a tight flower

Speaking about the fact that the flower is dense, we mean that its middle is filled. That is, the result will be solid flowers crocheted (pansies). Schemes illustrating the process of work are below.

Operating procedure:

1. Such a flower begins to be knitted from the center, with a set of six air loops (VP) and their closure in the ring.
2. Further, each petal is knitted separately from the others, but the thread should not be torn off. The first row of the petal consists of two or three single crochet columns (RLS). The difference in the number of RLS determines the width of the lobe. In nature, flowers are far from perfect shapes, so you can allow yourself freedom and not adhere to strict standards. The transition from the end of one element to the beginning of another can be done by connecting columns or RLS.
3. The second row of the petal begins with two lifting loops, then the fabric is rotated and double crocheted double crochet stitches (CCH) and two double crochets (C2H) are knitted in the newly crocheted RLS.
4. The third row completes the manufacture of the petal. It includes C2H, CCH, half columns (PLC) and air loops. Their combination allows you to form a rounded edge.
5. For the second layer of petals, a chain of 4 VPs should be connected. Its beginning and end are on the wrong side of the first layer.
6. Large petals are knitted by threading C2H under this arch. The procedure is similar to making the petals of the previous layer.

Openwork flower

There is a second method by which crochet pansies (schemes and step-by-step photos are below).

The result is a more loose and openwork flower.

But its advantage is ease of manufacture:

1. Start of work - a ring of six VP.
2. To knit the petals of the first layer, you need to make three arches of six VPs, each of which is sequentially attached to the initial ring.
3. Further, all the petals are knitted in one row. The order of operation of one element: RLS, PLS, 5SSN, PLS, RLS. All other petals perform similarly.
4. A thread of a different color is attached to the initial ring from the inside, that is, behind the first layer.
5. A chain of six VPs is knitted, fixed in the same cell.
6. With the help of 3 VPs, they go to the next cell of the initial circle and here they also knit an arch of 6 VPs.
7. Petals of the second layer consist of the same set of columns as the elements of the first.

Edge processing

The finished flower can be tied with a "crustacean step". This will give some unevenness to the petals, which will contribute to their similarity with real flowers.

Also, one row of RLS can act as a strapping, thanks to which the petals will be slightly tightened and twisted inward.

The voluminous yellow center is imposed on the center of the flower when it is completely ready.

Color distribution for knitting pansies

The best option for observing the reliability of the products is the use of colors that are as close as possible to the natural colors of pansies.

Therefore, we crochet pansies (patterns do not indicate this) with several types of yarn. It is better to make the middle darker than other elements. The color of the thread can be changed in accordance with the planned distribution of colors or use other techniques.

A good way to achieve a smooth transition of color is to use melange yarn. Typically, such a thread is dyed in different shades of the same color, which is great for crocheting pansies (any patterns are suitable).

You can give the middle a different color or shade by sewing a few stitches with a different thread.

Thus, you can make sure that such a skill as crocheting is useful for the manufacture of floral decor . Pansies (you can choose any patterns and description) look good in combination with knitted green leaves. They are usually arranged in random order, not observing symmetry.
