Step 1: Materials Needed
Baroque Yarn (quartz color)
Baroque Yarn(green with shimmer )
3.5mm crochet hook
Scissors and tapestry needle for finishing
Start with a magic ring:
Make a magic ring and work 3 chains inside it.
Crochet 11 double crochet into the ring (12 stitches total, including the starting chains).
Close the magic ring and join with a slip stitch to the 3rd chain.
Round 2 (Increases):
Chain 3 and make a double crochet in the same stitch.
Work 2 double crochet in each stitch around (24 stitches total).
Rounds 3 and Beyond (Progressive Increases):
Round 3: Alternate between 1 double crochet and 1 increase.
Round 4: Alternate between 2 double crochet and 1 increase.
Continue this pattern until Round 7, where there will be 5 double crochet between each increase.
Finish the Base:
Close the last round with a slip stitch.
Use a tapestry needle to weave in the ends neatly.
Make two identical bases following this pattern.
Step 3: Green Border on the Base
With the green yarn, start in any stitch of the base.
Work single crochet into every stitch of the last round.
Finish and secure the ends using the tapestry needle
First Layer of Petals:
Use the front loops of the double crochet stitches from the base.
In one loop, chain 3, and work 3 double crochets in the first loop and 3 double crochets in the next.
Chain 3, turn, and make 2 double crochets in each stitch from the previous row (12 stitches total).
Attach the petal to the 5th loop using a slip stitch.
Add the crab stitch edge around the petal.
Next Layers:
Continue in the same manner, increasing the number of loops worked for each subsequent layer to give the flower more fullness.
Step 5: Attaching Petals to the Base
For the second and subsequent layers, attach the petals to the base with slip stitches in the corresponding loops.
Add the crab stitch edge to all petals for a polished finish.
Step 6: Final Touches
Use the tapestry needle to secure and hide all loose ends.
Ensure the petals are symmetrical and neatly arranged.
Keep the two bases ready for assembling your table runner or other decorative projects.
