Flowers abound,now that it is Spring, some have names that I know of, some are not familiar at all, but then, they all look pretty and too adorable not to capture in crochet.
I know of the African violets, I know of purple zinia and anemone, and some purple primrose too,but some are too far different from the one I crocheted, will just call them flowers in the wild. They come out everywhere around this time, so dainty and vibrant!
I enjoyed making them, that I couldn't stop until my little basket was full. I tried to think of other projects I can use them as is, so I came up with this little idea. So, that gives you the flower pattern as well as the ref magnet project. It is totally up to you how to use them, you may choose to add them on a dress, embellish them on a hat, or drape them in your blanket or afghan. So many possibilities!
So, here you go;
Flowers in the Wild
Term: US
Hook: B/2.25mm
Note: Picot- CH 2, ss
in first CH.
Picot- CH 3, ss in first CH
Make the Magic Ring,
R1: CH2, 5 HDC into
ring, ss to close (6 HDC)
R2: **CH8, ss in 2nd CH from hook, SC in all the
remaining stitch, ss at the base of CH, ss to the next stitch* Repeat **to* You
will end with ss in the last stitch, and a ss in front of the first petal
spine. (6 petal spines made).
R3: SS in first stitch followed by SC, HDC and DC, DC, TR
and DC, DC and HDC, SC, picot. Repeat stitches in reverse order to complete
other side of petal. SS in front of next petal spine and repeat 5 more times to
complete all 6 petals. FO
Work the center of your flower, use any color you desire or
rely to element of contrast or harmony of color.
Wrap the yarn around your hook, ** insert hook in the very
center of the flower, pass through in front of the petal, yo, ss and picot*
repeat until you have 5 picots. SS one more time and do standard picot (CH 3,
ss in first chain) leave 4 inches tail, cut your yarn, thread the tail into
your tapestry needle, sew it in the very center, through the bottom of the
petal, secure and FO.
You can create variation in color or use variegated yarns, it creates a wilder look
Ref Magnets
To make these ref magnets, you will need tape magnets or
small circular magnets, and permanent adhesive. (Be careful in using the
Extreme Power Thick adhesive, it is skin bonding and eye irritant, use with
care and away from small kids).
First, crochet a small circular piece for blocking: MR, CH 2, 9 HDC into ring, ss to close. CH1,
SC in same place, 2 SC in all the stitches around, ss on CH1, and FO.
Glue the blocking piece at the back of the flower, allow it
to dry. Cut a small amount of your magnetic tape, and glue it on the blocking
piece, allow to dry. Now, you have a flower ref magnet, make more to make your
ref vibrant, or to sell in your next craft fair.
