• Choose light-colored wool if you're new to hooking. This makes it easier to see the hooks in a row and where to fix them.

Choose a hook needle. H-size hook needles are a suitable choice for fine wool yarns. If you have experience in knitting, you can change the size of the knitting needles to suit your crochet style.

Start with a pinnacle. This is the first step in all products.

• The symbol for this nose in most manuals is "ch".
• If you don't know how to hook or how to handle the needle, practice before hooking the flower.

Hook a point on the pin line (making a loop). This tip is used in all products because it can start, finish the row by tying, tightening the edges, or even moving the wool to another position without interrupting the hook pattern.

• "Sl st" is the symbol for "end point."
• In this article, the end point creates the first circle for flower hooks.

Up to three feet. This is considered the first double double nose. It will serve as the background for the petals.

14 double double stitches in the thread ring. You should see the next round begin to form.

• "Double point" is denoted "dc".

Use the end to recombine the first row. The first part is done!

• The end point will be on the second row of wool. That is the center of the flower!

Up to a pinch. You are hooking the petals!

Hook a single double stitch to the first pin. You will see the symbol for this hook in the instruction sheet or on the crochet web page as "hdc".

In the same first pin, hook a double double and triple triple. The petals are starting to take shape!

• The symbols are "Dc" and "tc", respectively.
• You can make multiple triple or double stitches, depending on the yarn size and the hook size. The third hand may be slightly wider than the smaller wool.

Hook an extra pin to create sharpness for the petals (if desired). At this point, if you want the petals to be thinner and more pointed, hook up a pin ("ch"). If you prefer rounder petals, skip this step.

• Remember the steps you took. Follow the same way for each petal, otherwise your flower will be skewed.

On the next pin, hook a triple double, double double and single double stitch. This step will make the petals round.

Hook the end to the next pin. Have you seen the shape of the petal yet?

Repeat with each petal. Return to the first step from "hooking the end" and follow the same steps above to hook each wing. Start at the next pin, after hooking one petal each time, until you have 5 petals.

Hook the end foot hook. Accomplished! That is the last wing!

• If you want to make flowers smaller then next time choose smaller needles and thin wool. It will be a bit difficult to hook and requires mastery.

Choke. Use a crochet needle to pass the end of the wool through a few hooks on the back of the flower and then tie it. advertisement

Advice

• Spray the flowers with glitter to make them look more sparkling.
• Start with microfiber wool for small flowers, large fibers for large flowers.
  • Use a hook sized according to the label attached to the wool.
• All knitting crochet manuals use symbols. Familiarize yourself with the following symbols:
  • hdc = single double stitch
  • ch = pinnacle
  • dc = double stitch
  • sl st = endpoint
  • tc = triple stitch
• Note that English and American hook patterns use different names and symbols for the same hook - for example, double stitches (dc) in American are triple stitches (tr) in English. This hook pattern uses American terminology. Hook pattern
