Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions
Part 1: Flower Base
- Foundation Chain:
- Start with a magic loop.
- Work ch 61 for the foundation chain.
- Half Double Crochet Row (Row 1):
- Skip the first chain.
- In each of the remaining chains, create 1 hdc (total: 60 hdc).
- V-Stitches Row (Row 2):
- ch 5 (counts as the turning chain + first part of the V-stitch).
- In the same stitch, make a dc, ch 2, dc to form a V-stitch.
- Skip 2 stitches, then repeat [dc, ch 2, dc] across the row for a total of 20 V-stitches.
- Petal Shaping (Row 3):
- Turn work.
- In the first V-stitch space, work 4 dc.
- Make sc between V-stitches.
- Repeat: Work 4 dc in each V-stitch and sc between two V-stitches across.
- Gradually increase petal layers by adding more dc stitches in subsequent rows (e.g., 5 dc, then 6 dc, etc.) as the petals grow outward:
- Row progression:
- 5 dc for the next layer.
- 6 dc for the following layer.
- Continue this pattern until all V-stitches are filled with petal stitches.
- Row progression:
- Flower Assembly:
- Start rolling the flower from the smaller petal end to the larger petal end to form layers.
- Secure layers using a needle and yarn by sewing through the base and binding petals together at the bottom.
Part 2: Leaves
- Leaf Structure:
- Attach green yarn to the base of the flower.
- Work into any V-stitch space.
- Create a leaf by following this sequence:
- dc, tr x 3, dtr x 2 (double triple crochet), tr x 3, dc.
- Repeat in the adjacent V-stitch spaces to make additional leaves.
- Finishing:
- Secure yarn to the base of the flower and trim the excess.
Part 3: Flower Buds
- Magic Circle for Bud:
- Begin with a magic circle.
- ch 1, then make 6 sc into the circle.
- Close with a slip stitch.
- Increase Rounds for Bud Shape:
- Round 2: Create 2 sc in each stitch (total: 12 sc).
- Rounds 3 & 4: Work 1 sc in each stitch (maintain total: 12 sc).
- Decrease for Closure:
- Combine stitches by working sc2tog (single crochet two together) around until the bud closes.
Part 4: Assemble Keychain
- Chain for Hanging:
- Create 56 chains for the strap.
- Attach the strap securely to the flower using yarn and a needle.
- Attach Keychain Ring:
- Loop the end chains around the ring.
