Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Flower Center (Yellow Yarn)
- Start with Magic Ring:
- Create a magic ring and secure.
- Work the Center:
- Ch 2 (counts as first sc).
- Work 5 sc into the magic ring for a total of 6 sc (including ch-2).
- Pull the tail to tighten and close the ring.
- Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Tip: Use thick yarn for the center to keep the shape dimensional.
Step 2: First Layer of Petals (Dark Yarn)
- Attach Dark Yarn: Join the yarn at any sc in the center.
- Petal Structure:
- Ch 2 (counts as starting height). Inside the same stitch:
- Work 1 dc.
- Work 1 dtr.
- Move to next sc of the center:
- Work 1 dtr, 1 dc, then finish with a sl st in the same st.
- Ch 2 (counts as starting height). Inside the same stitch:
- Progress to the Next Petal:
- Sl st into the next st and repeat the petal structure above.
- Complete Remaining Petals:
- Repeat structure for a total of 3 petals.
Step 3: Spaces Between Petals
- Create Spacer Chains:
- Rejoin dark yarn at the base space between two petals.
- Ch 3, sl st into the next space between petals.
- Repeat around, creating 3 chain-spaces in total.
Step 4: Second Layer of Petals (Dark Yarn)
- Work into Spacer Chains:
- In each ch-3 space, work:
- Ch 4 (counts as height).
- 4 dtr.
- Ch 4, sl st in the same space.
- In each ch-3 space, work:
- Repeat for Remaining Spaces: Complete petal structure in the remaining two spaces.
- Finish: Sl st at the end of the round, securing the dark yarn. Bind off and weave in ends.
Step 5: Third Layer of Petals (Light Yarn)
- Attach Light Yarn: Rejoin at the first dtr of any dark petal.
- Petal Increase (for Bigger Petals):
- Ch 2 (counts as height).
- At each dtr of the base petal: Work 2 dtr.
- Increases shape the petals for a fuller appearance.
- End of Row: Work dtr in last st, ch 2, and sl st into the base.
Step 6: Optional Embellishments
- Light Yarn Center Accents:
- Go back to the flower’s original center. Work small contrast stitches using light yarn, such as 1 dc or picot in each sc.
- Texture Add-ons: Consider adding more rows of petals for a lush appearance.
Step 7: Tassel and Cord
Cord
- Chain 50-60 chains (or until desired cord length).
- Attach to the base of the flower using a tapestry needle for secure placement.
Tassel
- Cut 20-25 pieces of yarn (matching the cord or complementary).
- Wrap yarn around a flat surface (e.g., a book) roughly 20 times for fullness.
- Tie at the top, cut at the bottom loops, and secure to the end of the cord.
Tips for Success
- Yarn Selection: Use Baroque No. 6 or doubled thinner yarn for sturdy and structured flowers.
- Contrasting Colors: Choose light and dark yarns for a dimensional look. Popular examples include sunflower colors (yellow, dark brown center) or Christmas tones (red, green).
- Needle Size: Opt for smaller crochet hooks to maintain tight and stiff petal structure, avoiding floppy results.
Final Look
Your finished project should feature a beautifully layered flower with dimensional petals, a matching cord for a curtain tieback, and a tassel for added flair. The tieback not only serves as a functional household item but also elevates your home décor with a handmade touch.
Pattern Variations
- Colors: Adjust the color scheme to match your room or the season. For example:
- Spring Vibes: Pastel shades (light pink, baby blue, soft yellow).
- Fall Décor: Rust orange, maroon, mustard yellow.
- Holiday Themes: Traditional Christmas red and green or icy winter tones of blue and silver.
- Size Adjustments: For larger flowers, use thicker yarn (e.g., Baroque No. 4 or No. 6) and add extra rounds of petals with similar patterns.
- Uses: Attach to more than just curtains—consider using it as an embellishment for handbags, headbands, or decorative wreaths.
