Crochet Hibiscus Flower Tutorial
The crochet hibiscus flower isn’t just pretty; it’s also functional and can make your belongings easier to find. In the video tutorial from Kukkacrochet By Putri, she expertly explains how to crochet this cute mini flower as a single piece without much sewing. This will help you learn the ruffle technique. Here are the crochet Hibiscus Flower bag charm video notes:
- First Petal: Create the first petal by chaining, followed by some triple crochets in the first chain. This process is repeated for five petals in total, creating the base of the flower.
- Adding Dimension: After finishing the petals, the second round starts with two single crochets, a half-double crochet, and a double crochet in each petal to add texture and dimension. Triple crochets are used in the same stitches from the previous round for additional shaping.
- Petal Detailing: Chain one and slip stitch to add more structure and volume to each petal. This pattern of slip stitches and chain stitches adds finesse and enhances the flower’s look.
- Pistol Creation: The pistol in the centre of the hibiscus is formed by chaining 10 stitches, followed by a mini bobble stitch for a decorative centre. Slip stitches are used to form the base of the pistol.
- Leaves: The leaves are made in the front loops of the stitches from earlier rounds. Half-double crochets and slip stitches are used to form small, pointed leaves around the flower.
- Strap: A strap is created using a simple chain of 60 stitches, attached to the back of the flower. The strap is sewn into the flower securely, using yarn scraps or fibre fill to stuff the back for a fuller appearance.
- Keychain Attachment: The strap is knotted tightly, and the flower is sewn onto the strap to complete the keychain. The tutorial finishes with advice on neatly weaving in the yarn tails.
