In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a beautiful flower used in a couple of our patterns.
We are showing beginning and end of every round:
Crochet 4 ch and form a ring with 1 sl st in 1st ch.
ROUND 1: 1 ch, 8 dc in ch-ring, finish with 1 sl st in first dc.
ROUND 2: Work 6 ch (= 1 tr + 3 ch), * 1 tr in next dc, 3 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 7 times, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 8 ch-loops.
ROUND 3: 1 ch, then work as follows in every ch-loop: 1 dc, 1 htr, 3 tr, 1 htr and 1 dc, finish round with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 8 leaves.
ROUND 4: Work 7 ch, * 1 dc between the next 2 leaves, 6 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 7 times, finish round with 1 sl st in 1st ch from beg of round = 8 ch-loops.
ROUND 5: 1 ch, then work as follows in every ch-loop: 1 dc, 1 htr, 5 tr, 1 htr and 1 dc, finish round with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 8 leaves.
ROUND 6: Work 10 ch, * 1 dc between the next 2 leaves, 9 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 7 times, finish round with 1 sl st in 1st ch from beg of round = 8 ch-loops.

Dear Mrs Olmstead, join the new colour with a sc (US-English) in the first treble on first leave, then continue working as explained under round 8- you should have 4 corners over every other leaf (each 8 chs) with 4 ch-spaces (each 5 chains) between each corner. Happy crocheting! 16.07.2020 - 10:56

Dat kan je op meerdere manieren doen; met lossen of stokjes. Het hangt er vanaf hoe je het zelf graag wilt hebben. Je kan eventueel kijken in onze gehaakte spreipatronen hier op de site voor inspiratie.

Ik ben een sprei aan het haken van gehaakte bloemen hoe haak je ze aan elkaar. Bij al onze patronen voor gehaakte dekens staat vermeld hoe u de blokken met elkaar kunt verbinden.

Thank you. The direction say sc then chain 3 then chain 8. That’s what was confusing.
