Crochet. Flower and fantasy

The crochet hook is an amazing thing. It contains boundless creative potential, which, it seems, has not yet been fully revealed, despite the centuries-old existence of this tool for women's needlework. With the help of a crochet hook, skillful hands and threads, things and objects of amazing beauty appear to the light. Master this type of needlework, and gradually you will see immense opportunities for the embodiment of the most daring and unexpected creative fantasies.

One of the types of needlework, known for a long time, is figured crochet. A flower as a separate element or a fragment connected from a bright yarn is used to create an original knitted fabric, lace, and trim. Recently, large fantasy flowers, made of cloth or crocheted, are used as a bright fashion accessory for dressing clothes.

Binding beautiful flowers crocheted is not easy. First, you need to master the basic techniques of this technique of knitting and learn how to make even beautiful bars. It must be remembered that only an impeccably executed decor element can be a real decoration.

So, let's try to master crochet knitting. The flower, which we will perform - a daisy from silky cotton "iris" white and yellow. For "iris" you need a hook three to three and a half mm in size.

1. We send a chain consisting of 13 air loops. We turn knitting and in the third from a hook an air loop make a column without a crochet. In successive air loops of the chain are sequentially bound: one half-column with a crochet, seven columns with a crochet, one pole. Used накида.

2. Turn knitting and tie the petal from both sides with half-beads without a crochet. At the top of the petal, in a single loop, we fasten 3 sticks so that the knitting does not tighten.

3. Further, without breaking off the main thread, we continue knitting and dial new 13 air loops for the next petal, which we untie in the same way.

4. In total it is necessary to connect 15 petals. At the end of this work should be a bunch of petals, slightly overlapping each other. We continue the work.

5. We make an air loop and start from the bottom to bind the petals, connecting them with columns without a crochet so that each column connects the right side of one petal to the left side of the next. As a result, you need to tie 15 bars without a crochet.

6. Next, we close knitting in a ring with a column without a crochet. In the center of the flower, an aperture was obtained, which must be filled with knitting sticks with a gradual reduction, until the hole is closed.

7. At the end of the work, you need to perform the core of the daisy from the yellow "iris". She knits together in circles with no crochet. In each new row, you need to make uniform increases, tying two bars in one of the bottom rows to make the knitting flat. The ready core of chamomile is sewn with the same thread in the center of the flower. To make it volumetric, put inside a piece of cotton wool or sintepon.

This is how the crocheted crochet is performed. The flower can be supplemented with leaves. They knit by the same technology as the petals, only each one separately, and then assembled into a single composition.

To master the three-dimensional knitting technique, you can start with small simple shapes. Binding small flowers to the crochet is very simple. We make a chain of air loops, the number of which must be a multiple of six. The first row is made from columns without a crochet, attaching a thin ribbon. In the second row, we begin to untie the petals, tying in each column of the underlying row: a column b / nakida, a column with a crochet, a column with 2 nakidami, pillar. With the 3rd cape, pillar. With 2 nakidami, pillar. With crochet and pillar. Used накида. Next in the same sequence, starting with the crocheted column, to the end of the row. The resulting wavy braid is twisted with a spiral, giving it a flower shape, and sewing it from the inside out with small inconspicuous stitches. Using various additions in the form of beads, beads, satin ribbons, you can complicate simple crochet. The flower as a result will turn out more refined and imaginative.
