Knitted flowers - original do-it-yourself decoration

With the help of this master class, you will learn how to make knitted flowers with your own hands. Let's tie a flower of three layers of petals. For its manufacture, wool yarn and a hook of 3.5 mm were used. In the end, the flower turned out to be about 8 cm in diameter. Initially, it was planned as a decorative element for a hat. But the flower itself can become a beautiful brooch, in general, flowers knitted or sewn from beautiful fabric can decorate anything - a bag, pillow, hair band, etc.

Knitted flowers: middle

To begin, knit a yarn of yellow color a chain of 4 air loops and with the help of a half-column connect them into a ring. Then you need to knit a number of columns without a crochet. You should get seven clearly visible columns with which you will work in the next step.

We knit two single crochet in each of them - a total of 14. Fasten the thread. The middle of the flower is ready.

Knitted flowers: first layer of petals

first layer of petals
We start knitting with orange yarn. Having inserted a hook in the first loop of the previous row, we quietly introduce a new thread. In two columns of the previous row we knit 4 double crochet, not forgetting to carefully hide the yellow thread. Then a half-column into the next loop - and the first petal is ready.

Repeat this in a circle until you get six orange petals. We should have one last stitch, in which we knit 4 double crochet, and then end the circle by stretching the thread through the first loop of the row. We fix the thread.

Knitted flowers: second layer of petals

This layer consists of two stages: first we knit a chain of air loops, and then create a petal from it. So, select a new color (we have pink) and tie a knot on the hook, as shown in the figure.

second layer of petals
We need to attach a new thread to the back of the petals of the previous circle, knitting it in two loops from the central column of each petal.

second row of petals

Use the hook to stretch these two loops on the back of the first petal. The pink loop appears to their right. We crochet, first we extend the hook through the first two loops, then immediately through the third. Thus, the thread is fixed and ready to set a chain of four air loops.

Now get ready to fix it again: pull two loops from the back wall of the next petal on the left, make a yarn, stretch the thread through two loops, and then through the last loop on the hook.

second row of petals
Now our chain is fixed at each end of the back of the two previous petals. Remember that you need to keep the flower with the front side towards you, and that you work from right to left. Repeat this six more times until there are seven chains of air loops on our flower. Last time we pull the hook into the first pink loop.

first petal of the second row
Now we will form a petal from each chain. To do this, we introduce a hook under the first loop of the chain and knit six double crochet in each air loop. We fix it with a half-column - the first petal is ready. You can bend the first layer of petals forward, so that it is easier to get to the chain of air loops. Repeat this with the second and subsequent petals. Here's how it looks from the inside out:

And here is what happens when you knit all seven petals and fasten the thread.

In principle, the work can be completed on this. And you can knit another row of petals similar to the previous one, but this time there will be seven air loops in the chain.

third row of petals
The flower can be trimmed with a contrasting color.

So you learned how to make crocheted flowers. The schemes of this and other colors are very simple, there are a lot of similar examples.
