Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from naztazia.com Today I'll show you how to crochet the flower stitch. For a sample start with the chain forty orany multiple of three plus one. Skip the first chain and single crochet in thenext chain and single crochet in each stitch across. When you get to the end chain one andturn your work. For this row just single crochet in each stitch across again. At the end of this row we're going toinsert the green color. Start your single crochet then finish it with the greenyarn. Chain 3 and turn. For this green row we're going to do av-stitch in the next stitch, which is a doublecrochet, chain one, and a double crochet. Then skip two stitches and in that thirdstitch do another V stitch, which is one double crochet, one chain, and one double crochet. Skip two stitches and in the next stitch do the V stitch again. Skip two stitches and continue with thispattern across the row. After your last V stitch make 1 double crochet in the verylast stitch but before we finish that stitch insert in the pink yarn. Chain 3and turn your work. In each of the center of the V stitches we're going to do athree double crochet puff stitch. To begin make a double crochet but don'tfinish it. Make a second double crochet but don't finish it. And then make athird double crochet without finishing it. Yarn over and draw your hook through allthe loops on your hook, then chain two. I'll show this again. Begin with thefirst double crochet, next a second double crochet, finally the third andfinal double crochet. Yarn over and draw through all of the loops on your hook. Then chain two. Continue with this three double crochet puff stitch pattern inthe middle of all of the V's across the row. At the end make a double crochet inthe very last stitch and switch back to the white yarn. Chain one and turn. Onthis row we'll start off with a single crochet in the first stitch then asingle crochet on the top of the flower. Then two single crochet stitches in theprevious chain two space, a single crochet on top of the flower, and twosingle crochet stitches in the chain two space. Continue making a single crocheton top of the flower and two single crochet stitches in each chain two spaceacross. At the end place one more single crochet in the last stitch, chain one, andturn. On this next row just make one single crochet in each stitch across. At the end we'll be switching back overto the green color again. Chain three and turn. For this row we'llrepeat what we did for the other green row. Do your V stitch in the next stitch. Skip two and another v-stitch. Once thisrow is complete follow it with the pink-flower row then two single crochetwhite yarn rows. Continue this for as long as you wish, ending with two single crochet rows. And that's how I make the flower stitch.
