Basic crochet flower crown

So I found a pattern in German for a flower garland and while I really couldn’t decipher what to do I was able to make up my own that turned out alright and used it to make a flower crown!

I used size 10 crochet thread and a 1.25mm hook, but gage isn’t really important.

The pattern is basic and easy to modify, but this is how I made mine.

1. Chain 6, insert hook in first chain made and slip stitch to join.

2. Sc 12 in ring (makes center of flower)

3. Chain 14

5. Slip stitch in second chain from hook, 1 sc in next chain, 1 dc in each of next two chains, 1 sc in next chain (makes leaf).

6. Chain 14

7. Slip stitch in 6th chain from hook to make a ring

8. 12 sc in the ring.

9. Repeat steps 3-8 until it’s as long as you want it.

Last section: create leaf, chain 8. Do not fasten off.

To add the petals you’ll crochet in the round without turning (continuous rounds)

1. Attach thread into any of the sc’s in the ring of 12 and make a sc, ch 3, *skip next sc, sc in next stitch, ch 3* until you have 6 sc’s and 6 ch 3 spaces. Connect to first sc with a slip stitch

2. *6 dc in ch 3 space, slip stitch to sc* repeat for all ch 3 spaces. Connect to first stitch made

To connect the ends just slip the last chain made into the first sc of the back of the first flower made.

My crown has 12 flowers and leaves and was 20 inches before I connected it.

You can easily make more leaves between flowers or have less chains between things (I have it as flower, ch 8, leaf, ch 8, flower) so this pattern can be anything you want it to be! Use thicker yarn! Get fancy! Have fun!
