So, I made up this cute little motif today:
Originally I was going to use them for a pair of barefoot sandals, but then I had an idea to make tons of them, in various shades of blues and white, then joining them to make a pretty tablecloth or tree skirt for Christmas. So that's what I'm doing. :)
This is my first time writing a pattern, so bear with me and feel free to tell me if there are any parts that are unclear or difficult to understand.
Abbreviations:
Sc = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
HDC = Half Double crochet
TC = Triple/Treble Crochet
Round 1: Chain 4, slip stitch to first chain to make a loop
Round 2: Chain 3, 1 DC, *chain 2, 2 DC. Repeat from * until you have 6 sets of 2 DC (chain 3 counts as first DC) Slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 to join.
Round 3: Slip stitch in next DC, slip stitch in chain 2 space, *1 SC, 1 HDC, 2 DC, 1 HDC, 1 sc. Repeat from * in each chain 2 space around. Slip stitch to the first SC to join.
Round 4: Slip stitch in each ST until you reach the nearest DC. Slip stitch into it, and SC in the next DC (there should be two DCs in a row here, since you should be at the tip of the petal) *Chain 7, SC in next DC, SC in next DC, repeat from * around. SC in the slip stitch made above the first DC before the first CH 7 to join.
Round 5: Sl st in next SC, and in the chain 7 space, *2 SC, 2 HDC, 2 DC, 2 TC, 2 DC, 2 HDC, 2 SC. Rep from * in each chain 7 space around, slip stitch to the slip stitch before the first SC to join. Finish off and carefully weave in the ends.
Some Ideas I thought of were tablecloths, placemats, put them on headbands or earrings, add them to hats or scarves, use a softer thread (or regular yarn of your choice) and make a scarf out of them, throws (using regular yarn) The list could go on forever.
