This is an unusual hexagonal motif. Such a floral fragment is usually used for knitting blankets, pillows, shawls, bags, chair covers, napkins and much more. The African flower looks unusual in knitting toys and jewelry. In this article, you will familiarize yourself with a master class on how to crochet an “African flower”. For work, yarns are usually used in different colors, or you can collect the remains of the threads and thus get rid of them.
Crochet African Flower
To make a motive we need:
- knitting pattern;
- acrylic yarn (any color);
- hook number 2.
Legend
To facilitate understanding of the circuit, it is necessary to shorten some loop names:
- CH - double crochet.
- SB - SC.
- SS - connecting column.
- VP - air loop.
Crochet: "African flower" (outline)
We collect four VP. Three loops will be considered as lifting, and in the first we knit CH, an air loop and two CH. Alternate the last two loops five times. In the circle we get twelve CH. We continue knitting a flower. We make a SS. Change the color of the yarn as follows. From the first CH we pull the thread, and on the hook we collect two loops. We take a yarn of a different color and knit Sat. That's all, nothing complicated. With the color scheme of the motive, decide for yourself. Through an air loop we knit SS. We make three VP with a lift. We continue to crochet the "African flower" according to the following pattern. We collect CH, VP, two CH. We skip two more crochets of the previous row. We knit through an air loop - two CH, VP, two CH five times. Connect using SS. We knit three VP with a lift and five CH. We collect six SNs at the top of the air loop. Repeat five more times. Connect the nodes. Again, change the color. We collect five SB. Capturing the previous row, we make an elongated loop. Repeat five times, change the thread color to a different color.
We knit three VP with a lift. We make an increase - SB, VP, SB. Thus, we form the corners. So it is so easy to connect not only from six edges, but also a five-, seven- and octagon. We hope you succeed in linking the African flower. Nothing complicated here
If you are just starting to learn the basics of knitting, and it’s hard for you to figure out the pattern, we recommend that you watch the video tutorials on crocheting flowers.
African flower horse
You will need to create crafts:

Description of work
For hooves we need eight pieces of pentagonal and hexagonal motifs. On the head go: triangular - on the nose, seven pieces of pentagonal on the face. Sew two pentagonal motifs to the head. The body will require one seven-, two six- and two pentagonal motifs. We sew all the components of the horse. Please note: on the back four parts are not stitched. In the future, fill the horse through them with syntepon. As the product is ready, we sew up the remaining parts. To create the ears, we take two motifs and sew each one. Tie them to the head. And how can a horse be without a mane? To do this, crochet thread through the head and neck. And don't forget the tail. Next, sew the buttons. Eyes in place. The work is completely ready.
