Ranunculus

Skill Level Skill Needed


Intermediate Crochet, Sewing

Introduction
Hello! Here I’ll show you how to crochet a delicate Ranunculus. Ranunculus is a blossom
which packs immense beauty in its tiny bulb - so much detail and so much elegance. One of
the more popular wedding bouquet blossoms. This e-book includes diagrams and instruc-
tions for 2 variations of the Ranunculus (see photos above).

This pattern includes a nonstandard stitch of the Tunisian Crochet family, its a slightly
modified Tunisian simple stitch - that’s the reason I have marked this pattern as Intermedi-
ate. The stitch is easy to learn and fun to do - all included in the document and in a tutorial
video.

Pattern notes
In this e-book I first show a pattern diagram, and

the end of the e-book). After that you’ll find the
short photo guide for how to build the flower.

For the Size #20 Ranunculus, See Appendix B.

For the size #20 blossom, I recommend using a 100% For tutorial about
mercerized cotton thread. But, of course, any durable Misc Stitch #1
size #20 thread could work. I’ve used thread from “Ve- please see this link.

Ranunculus Blossom
The Ranunculus is made from 4 elements: From the bottom up - at the base, we
have the Sepals. Then, on top of the sepals is the outer petals element, which in-
cludes 3 layers of petals, then the inner petals elements (which includes 2 layers of
petals) and the last element is the head.

Therefore, you will find in the e-book, 4 different patterns, for each elements.

Outer Sepals

Head

Inner
Element

The Stages of this instructions, are - first, we crochet all the elements, then glue
and arrange them together.

Blossom final measurements :


- ~2-2.4” (5-6cm) wide (diameter).
- ~0.8-1” (2-2.5cm) high.

Please Note : The patterns and photos in this document are of the Ranunculus
with the thinner thread (Pearl Cotton size #8) - to crochet the size #20 Ranunculus,
please see Appendix B.

Outer Element
Outer petals element is done in 6 stages :

Stage 1 : Crocheting the Disc


In this stage we’ll crochet the disc that will be the base for
all the 3 petals layers.

Stage 2 : Crocheting the 1st Layer


Next, well crochet the first layer of petals, working
through the outer round of the disc (round number 4).

Stage 3 : Preparing for 2nd Layer


We’ll crochet 6 chain rows that will be worked through
when we crochet the 6 petals of the 2nd layer.

Stage 4 : Crocheting the 2nd Layer


Working through the chain rows of Stage 3, we’ll crochet
the 6 petals of layer 2.

Stage 5 : Preparing for 3rd Layer


Similar to Stage 3, we’ll crochet 6 chain rows.

Stage 6 : Crocheting the 3rd Layer


Working through the chain rows of Stage 5, we’ll crochet
the 6 petals of layer 3.

Outer Element Instructions


Stage 1 : Crocheting the Disc

If you are using Thread smaller than size #20, it is recom-


mended you crochet the disc using 2 threads together (see
photo guide), as it would make it easier later when you
crochet the petals.

Rnd 1 : Magic ring, ch 1, sc 12 times, join with sl st to beg ch

Rnd 2 : ch 1, [sc, 2-st sc inc], repeat [] 6 times around, join with sl-st to beg ch

Rnd 3 : ch1, [2 sc, 2-st sc in], repeat [] 6 times around, join with sl-st to beg ch

Rnd 4 : ch 1, sc 24 times around, join with sl-st to beg ch. Fasten off.

Stage 2 : Crocheting Layer 1

Each petal of layer 1 is done row by row starting with a base row of 7 chains. Each
petal includes a stitch I will called here Misc Stitch #1 (os MS1), it is very similar
to Tunisian Simple Stitch - the only difference is that we work the stitch through
the outer horizontal thread and not the vertical threads (Video Tutorial included +
Instructions in the next section).

The outer round of the disc has 24 stitches - meaning, each petal is being connect-
ed to the disc through 4 stitches (we have 6 petals in total). Each petal has 18 rows
- the rows of each petal are being connected to the disc in the following fashion :

Rows 1,2,3,4,5 - Through the first stitch


Rows 6,7,8,9 - Through the second stitch
Rows 10,11,12,13 - Through the third stitch
Rows 14,15,16,17,18 - Through the forth stitch

Outer Element - Photo Guide


The Outer petal element is made of
three layers of petals - each layer has 6
petals.

We start by crocheting a disc that


would be the base for the petal layers.
Once the disc is done, We’ll start cro-
cheting the petal layers :

- Layer #1 will be worked in the outer


round of the disc.

- Layers #2 and #3 will be worked


through chain rows we’ll create (see
photo guide).

If you are using the Pearl Thread size


#8 (or any thread smaller the size #20),
it is recommended crocheting the disc
using 2 threads over the hook (see
photos) - that we it would be easier to
work with when we’ll crochet the pet-
als.
Step 1 - Grab 2 threads, and work with both of
them.

Step 2 - Make a loop with both threads to make a Step 3 - Yarn over and pull through loop to start the

To the right is the disc we are going to
work with. Through the outer round
(blue arrow), we are going to start do-
ing the outer layer of petals.

Then, we’ll work between the outer


round (rnd 4) and the previous round
(rnd 3, red arrow) to crochet the second
layer.

And, Lastly, between rnd 3 & rnd 2


(green arrow) we’ll work the last layer
of petals in the element.

Since there are 24 stitches in the outer round, each petal will be worked in 4 stitch-
es, follow the numbering/instructions to know how many rows goes to each stitch
in each Petal.

We’ll start the outer layer by adding the thread through the chain stitch of the
outer round in the disc. Once the thread is added, we start crocheting the petals
one by one, starting with the chain row and following the instructions.

At this point, you’ll see that the thread
is actually in the back of the element -
we’ll have to bring it to the front. We’ll
do that by joining with a sl-st to the last
stitch we did in the last petal.

Next, we’ll create spaces for us to work


through when we crochet the second
layer of petals. The spaces (or, holes)
will be chain rows that will be con-
nected at each end with a slip stitch (see
photo at the bottom left).

Since each petal of the second layer is placed between two petals of the first layer,
and each petal is being worked through 4 stitches in the round - then our chain
rows should be joined to the middle of each petal and skip 2 chains each time.

Once we crochet all the chain rows, we start to crochet the petals, one by one,
through each of the chain rows.

Please Note : Since we’ll need to start our first chain row from the third stitch, we’ll start
with a couple of sl-st to bring it to the third stitch.

Inner Element Instructions


The inner petals element is being crocheted in the same way we crocheted the
outer petals element. Only differences are the patterns of the petals, and that we
only have two layers of petals in this element. Meaning we only have Stages 1 to 4
in this element.

Stage 1 : Crocheting the Disc

Rnd 1 : Magic ring, ch 1, sc 12 times, join with sl st to beg ch

Rnd 2 : ch 1, [sc, 2-st sc inc], repeat [] 6 times around, join with sl-st to beg ch

Rnd 3 : ch1, [2 sc, 2-st sc in], repeat [] 6 times around, join with sl-st to beg ch. Fas-
ten off.

Stage 2 : Crocheting Layer 1

The outer round of the disc has 18 stitches - meaning, each petal is being connect-
ed to the disc through 3 stitches (we have 6 petals in total) - we connect the rows
of each petal to the disc in the following way :

Rows 1,2,3,4 - Through the first stitch


Rows 5,6,7,8 - Through the second stitch
Rows 9,10,11,12 - Through the third stitch

Add the thread through the ch stitch of the outer round of the disc.

Row Summary for each petal (total 12 rows) :


Ch 6, MS1 6, MS1 7, 6 Rows of MS1 8, MS1 7, MS1 6, sc 6

Row 1 : Add the petal’s thread and chain 6 times.

Size #20 Ranunculus
This section includes the patterns to make the size #20 Ranunculus (pictured be-
low).

The process of making the Ranunculus + the patterns for the discs, sepals and
head are exactly the same to the smaller thread blossom. The only difference is in
the petals’ patterns - as we are using larger thread.

To make the Size #20 Ranunculus, crochet the sepals & head and the discs from
the thinner thread, add the petals that are included in this section, and follow the
instructions in the previous pages of making the flower.
