Long time gone by... FREE Crochet Flower Pattern

Ok so I am a very bad blogger. lol I say I am going to post at least once a week, and well, as you can see that doesn't happen. :) To any one that this bothers I am really sorry. The kiddies (and my grandma) have been keeping me SO busy.

Lost of things have been going on around here since the last time I posted. Carter is now STANDING on his own and walking with the aid of the best $20 I ever spent, using the Playskool explore and grow step start walk and ride. Now it is shown on this site for $24.99 but I can tell you from experience, Target has it for $18 and change plus tax. Carter loves this toy. Funny I had something like this for my other little ones and they never took to it, but he can't stop. lol

Also new, Xander turned 5 September 8th! Happy late birthday to my bubbie. Katie turned 11 on the 23rd! I can't even believe it has been that long. It really does seem like yesterday I was in labor in the hospital with these two. It is so amazing how time just flies right by you. Especially when you don't want it to.

And another two milestones for the kiddies. Xander lost his first tooth last week, and then this past Monday, Myleigh lost her first tooth.! The same exact tooth Xander lost. LOL I will have to post some toothless smiles up here tomorrow. I promise.

Ok, now that I have caught all of you up on everything I can think of right now, on to the pattern I promised. It is nothing spectacular, but I have been searching for just a simple flower pattern to do for some small items for the girls. All the patterns I find, I either can't figure out or they are for HUGE flowers. I just wanted a small little dainty looking daisy. And most of all I wanted it simple!!! So I was sitting there this evening wondering what to do with some excess yarn I had after making a soaker and I just started practicing. Here is what I came up with.

Materials:

~Any size hook-depending on how big/small you want the flower. My favorite size is a G so that is what I used.

~Any type of yarn to match size/hook. I used worsted weight wool

Pattern:

Chain 2

R1: do 5 single crochet(sc) in second hole from hook. Join in top of first sc.

R2: *slip stitch(slst) in next sc, half double crochet(hdc) in same stitch, double crochet(dc) in same stitch, then hdc again in same stitch. repeat from * in next stitch and then again in next 3 stitches around for a total of 5 petals. Slst in starting sc. Fasten off.

Simple right. I know. lol This flower will not be very big but you can adjust size using various sized needles and yarn weights.

 The flowers came out cute and I think they will be perfect to applique a pair of Myleigh's jeans.

Please post if you have any questions or suggestions for this pattern.

Good night.
