By Yolanda on April 24, 2015 in Uncategorized 3

I don’t know about you but I love flowers. I thought it would be fun to do Flower Friday posts. (Ok, at least until I fun out of flowers to post, hey just keeping it real here.)

Here is one of my favorite little flowers. It’s flower #1 in the series. It’s fast and easy to do. You can use any size hook or yarn type. It’s a great way to use up all your yarn scraps. Please be sure to share this post with your friends. Also, leave me a comment to let me know what other types of flowers you want to see. Happy Crocheting!

Instructions: Any yarn or hook (appropriate to yarn weight)

To begin: Chain 15 (loosely)

Row 1: dc into 3rd chain from hook, 4dc into same st, 5dc into each chain to end of row

Roll strip into the same of a rose (see photo below).. now sew edge. Now you can use these flowers to embellish hats, scarfs, etc. Enjoy!

DIY – Clover Mini-Flower Loom

Easy DIY – Clover Mini-Flower Loom

Clover Mini-Flower Loom Kit

One of the great things about attending the CHA Mega Show is being able to see products before they become available in stores. As many of you know I love to make flowers. I like using them as embellishments and to make other crafty things. This year Clover has introduced Mini-Flower Looms. These little looms are so cute and easy to use. The package I got had the flower and the square loom. The back of the looms are open so you can sew in the center to be able to ensure they won’t fall apart after removing them from the loom. You can use yarn, metallic yarns and thin cords. I also saw them using the thick metallic threads. You are really only bound by your imagination. I am using the new Bon Bon packages by Lion Brand Yarn.

It’s easy to do. First choose a yarn, thick thread or cord of your choice. There are 2 slits on the side of the loom. These will help you secure your beginning and finishing rounds. Then you will wind the yarn around the pegs. You will be working directly across from each peg. I work in a clockwise direction. You can wind the yarn around the pegs 1, 2, of 3 times. I did it 3 times. Then when you have finished winding around all the pegs, you can put the tail back into the remaining slit on the side of the loom. Now, you will use your thread needle and thread with yarn of your choice. I used about a 20 inch strand. Now, you will sew back and forth making sure to get all levels of the yarn.. now move onto the next set of pegs. Repeat until you have worked all pegs. Now weave in your tail and cut. You are ready to slide the flower off the loom and cut the tails off the remaining two slits.
