Let’s start with foundation chain: 25 ch.

R1: 2 sc into the 2nd sts from hook, 2 hdc, dc 14, hdc 3, sc 2, 3 sc in last stitch, do not turn, (working on the other side of ch), sc 2, hdc 3, dc14, hdc 2, 2 sc, ss.

R2: ch1, add iron wire, 2 sc in next st, sc 2, 2 hdc, dc, dc 2 in next st, dc 4, dc 2 in next st, dc 5, hdc 3, sc 4; (1 sc, 2 ch picot stitch, 1 sc); (working on the other side of ch), sc 4, hdc 3, dc 5, dc 2 in next st, dc 4, dc 2 in next st, dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc, sc 2 in next st, ss, cut and leave tail for wrapping.

Flower petal finished. Now continue to finish another five.

Using green yarn, start with a magic ring

R1: ch3, work 5 dc in magic ring. close the loop tightly, ss top of ch3

R2: ch3, (dc, dc2 in next st )* 2 times, dc2 in each st, ss

R3: ch3, (fpdc, dc2 in next st )* 4 times, ss

R4: ch3, (fpdc,dc, dc2 in nextst ) * 4 times, ss

R5: ch3, (fpdc, dc2, dc2 in nextst) * 4 times, ss

R6: ch3, (fpdc, dc3, dc2 in next st) * 4 times, ss

R7- R9: ch3, (fpdc, dc5) * 4 times, ss

R10: ch3, (fpdc, dc3,dc2tog) * 4 times, ss

R11: ch3, (fpdc, dc2, dc2tog) * 4 times, ss

R12: ch3, (fpdc, dc, dc2tog) * 4 times, ss

R13: ch3, (fpdc, dc2tog) * 4 times, ss, add polyfill

R14: ch3, (dc, dc2tog), take a 40cm flower stem, bend one end of the flower stem, and insert it into the bud, ( 1 dc, dc2tog ), dc2tog, 1ss, 1 ch, cut and leave tail for wrapping.

Let’s start with foundation chain: 30 ch

R1: add iron wire, 2sc into the 2nd sts from hook, hdc2, dc20, hdc2, sc2, 3 sc in last stitch (working on the other side of ch), sc2, hdc2, dc20, hdc2, sc2, ss

R2: ch1, sc30, 2 ch picot st, sc29, ss, cut and leave tail for wrapping.

Take 6 inches (15cm) of iron wire, starting at 2in (5cm), and wrap the yellow yarn for 1in (2.5cm).

Then fold the wire in half, making sure the ends of the yellow are aligned.

Using the green yarn, wrap the two wires together for 1 in (2.5cm), and cut and tie a knot.

Note: watch the video tutorial for further details.

Step 1: Cut the rod in the middle and set aside the other half. To create the stem for the bud, use the tail yarn of the stamen, and wrap the yarn around the rod. Cut the tail, and finish with hot melt adhesive at the end.

Step 2: Using the rod you set aside, wrap the flower stamens around with green yarn. Do not cut the yarn.

Step 3: Continue wrapping the flower petals one at a time onto the stem, around the stamens. Once you wrap all petals, continue wrapping the stem until all tail ends of the flower petals are covered.

Step 4: Join the leaf and wrap around the stem until the tail end is covered. Then join the flower bud, wrap around the stem, cut the tail, and finish using hot melt adhesive at the end of the stem.
