Flower from puffs

In some MYpicot patterns I use technique making the flower from clusters or
puffs stitches in two rows. They have one principle and below we learned how it’s
crochet.

Step 1

Work given numbers of ch, in

this case 5 ch.

Step 2

Work 1 incomplete puff

stitch of 2 h.tr/h.dc in 5th ch from
hook.

Step 3

Work 1 incomplete puff

stitch of 4 h.tr/h.dc in next stitch,

Step 8

Work 3 ch, puff stitch in the

same space and given stitches.

Long Loop Stitch

These beautiful stitches makes a lot of opportunities for its use in patterns. It is
very simple, but there are some nuances for the good result.
The yarn used again is not always suitable for this stitch. It is nessesary to use a
smooth yarn and make loops the same length for pattern’s carefully look.

Step 1

Yarn over hook.

Step 2

Insert hook into next stitch

and draw yarn up 0,5 – 1 cm.

Flower stitches

This is a useful technique makes the flowers without cutting threads. You can
crochet in your pattern so many small flowers as you want. Below we will learn how
to crochet flowers with different numbers of petals. All of them works with the same
principle: round of petals makes around of base. The base consists of tr/dc - 1ch -
h.tr/h.dc in the same space and forms a triangle.
