Crochet flower chain made easy

For this flower garland, we chose simple, but also special flowers. So the right flower is guaranteed for every crochet fan. Of course, you don't have to put all the flowers in a garland like we did. It can also look very pretty if you crochet a flower chain that consists of only one flower, which is crocheted in all colors.

But it was very important to us that all flowers can also be reworked by newcomers to the crochet art . Therefore, we have documented each step with many photos, so that the reworking of the flowers does not pose any difficulties.

Material and preparation

Basically, in order to crochet this flower chain, all yarns can be processed. Of course, it looks nice if a cotton yarn is used that gives off a clear crochet pattern.

yarn

A wonderful cotton yarn, gassed and mercerized, is offered by Schachenmayr with the Catina yarn. The yarn has a slight sheen and is dimensionally stable, which is a great advantage when crocheting a flower chain.

However, we crocheted with a 8-10 pearl thread and a 2 mm crochet hook. Even if this yarn is mainly used for Hardanger embroidery, it can be processed very well for delicate crochet projects . The Anchor company has wonderful colors for this. With the material for the flower chain, the decisive factor is how big the flowers should be.

For delicate flowers, use a finer thread, for larger flowers use a cotton thread that is crocheted with a needle size of 2.5 - 3 mm. And if you want to work up your leftover yarn, you can also use it to crochet your flower chain.

Depending on the thread size, you also need to crochet for the flower chain:

1 crochet hook of the appropriate size
1 darning needle
1 pair of scissors

Color change - How to change colors when crocheting

A round is complete for each flower. This means that if you start a new round with a different color, you can do this at any corresponding point. To sew the threads, we even recommend always starting the new round at a different point.

You start like this:

Pull a thread through the new stitch, crochet a slip stitch and start working.

Describe the decoration of the flowers

If you want to spice up your flower a bit, just decorate your flower a little. It's very easy.

When decorating, you always work on the flower surface and pierce between the stitches. Place a firm loop to begin with the working thread. Pull this loop between two stitches.

Pierce through the next stitch, place the working thread on the needle and crochet a slip stitch on the surface.

So you can decorate all crochet pretty.

Tip: We recommend working the flowers in parallel with reading the instructions, step by step. This will make it easier for you to understand each step.

Crochet the flower chain

The Rose

The rose is crocheted from a chain stitch chain, which receives small petals in the following rows.

It looks very complex, but is very easy to rework.

Row 1: The more chain stitches you cast on, the bigger the flower.

Cast on 80 chain stitches + 1 rising air stitch = 81 stitches

2 rising air stitches (they replace the double crochet of the next round)
Turn work !!

3rd row:

Skip one stitch of the preliminary round. Work 1 double crochet in the following stitch. That means crochet 1 double crochet + 3 chain stitches in every second stitch of the preliminary round.

At the end of the row ...

Turn work !!

4th row: In each chain space of the preliminary round ...

Crochet 9 treble crochets in the following chain stitches. 1 slip stitch in the middle double crochet of the preliminary round. The first petal is finished.

The green garland is the strand on which you will sew all the flowers and leaves. The length therefore depends on the number of flowers . Before crocheting this strand, lay out your flowers in the order you want. You can use this to measure the length of your garland strand.

Tip: If you like the sequence of flowers that is now in front of you on the table or on the floor, take a picture of it. Then you will later know in which order you want to sew the flowers on.

Crochet garland

Cast on chain stitches according to the desired length . Crochet half double crochet in the second half. For the hanging flowers, crochet chain stitches and single crochets. You also decide this length according to your ideas. Now sew all the flowers and leaves on this garland according to your ideas. We used the green thread of the garland for sewing on.
